Ingredients:

Serving

3 skinless chicken breast fillets
4 stalks lemongrass , tender inner part only
2 scallions, finely sliced
1 tbsp fish sauce ( nam pla)
1 lime , finely grated zest and juice
1 quart chicken stock
1 -2 tsp light brown sugar
2 -3 red chili peppers , deseeded
fresh ginger, peeled , a 2in piece
1 oz cilantro
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tsp fennel seed, lightly crushed
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp peanut oil
14 oz coconut milk
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Cut the chicken crossways into thin slices. Place in a non-metallic bowl. Very finely slice one of the lemon grass stalks and scatter over the chicken with the scallions. Add the lime zest, fish sauce and 1 tsp sugar and mix together. Leave to marinate for 30-60 minutes.
Chop the remaining lemon grass and two chilies roughly and put in a pan with the stock, half the ginger, sliced, and all the cilantro stems (chop the leaves and reserve). Bring to the boil then simmer covered for 30 minutes and then strain.
Gently fry the onion, fennel seeds, garlic and remaining ginger, finely chopped, in the oil in a large saucepan until the onion is soft. Add the strained stock and simmer for 10 minutes then add the coconut milk. When the mixture comes back to a simmer, add the chicken with all its marinade and half the chopped cilantro leaves. Simmer gently for 6-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked thoroughly.
Add the lime juice, seasoning and more sugar to taste. Sprinkle with the rest of the cilantro and the third chili pepper, finely sliced, if liked.
