Thai food is famous for use of coconut milk and fresh herbs. Coconut milk or 'ga-ti' is traditionally made by mixing the grated meat of a ripe coconut with warm water and then squeezing out the juice. You can go to a market in Thailand and buy fresh squeezed coconut milk. However we are going to use canned coconut milk to make our Thai soup using some fresh herbs like lemon grass, brown rice and vegetables.
