COLLECTION: Chicken Soups
1. Galanga is similar to ginger, an edible rhizome available in most
Asian groceries. If not available fresh, you can usually find it
frozen. (Well, this is the SF Bay Area; if you can't find it at Tin Tin
or the New Castro Market, you have to have friends smuggle it in from
Bangkok for you... Other parts of the country may vary.)
2. Chile peppers add a lot to the dish; I've had it so hot that I could
barely eat it, and I've had it completely smooth, sweet and mild. I
like it in the middle.
3. Lemon grass adds a lot to the flavor and aroma, but as near as I can
tell it isn't edible unless you puree it. (If there's sufficient
demand, I'll print my recipe for Vietnamese turkey fajitas.) I just eat
around the slices of lemon grass and ginger.

THAI CHICKEN COCONUT SOUP
=========================
Ingredients:
-
3
3
1
-----------
-4 cans coconut milk (make sure it's the unsweetened kind)
tblsp chopped scallions
-3 tsp lemon grass
cilantro (preferably fresh. I sometimes leave this out. Niels says
that's defeating the whole point, but I think it still comes
out great)
tofu
cubed into smallish pieces.
chicken also cubed to bite size.
mushrooms
1
carrot grated
juice from loads of limes (8? i can never put in enough)
serrano chillies (or any other hot chili pepper, again preferably
fresh, but powdered will do)
1
tsp
galanga powder
Instructions:
------------
-
Heat the coconut milk in a pot. Add everything else. As the lemon
grass is inedible, put it in a tea ball and immerse the ball in the soup
so you can retrieve it later. Cook until the chicken is done and the
soup is hot (30 minutes?). Taste to see if it needs more limes (it
always does) or more hot peppers (it's better to start mild and build up
to the desired level of spicyness).
