Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3), cut into 2 1/2-by-1/4-inch strips
3 tbsp asian fish sauce ( nam pla or nuoc mam)
1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
1 quart plus 3/4 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
3 stalks lemongrass , bottom third only, peeled , smashed , and cut into 2-inch pieces, or three 3-inch-by-1/4-inch strips lemon zest
1 1- inch piece peeled fresh ginger, cut into thirds
1/2 cup long- grain rice
1 3/4 cups unsweetened coconut milk (15-oz can)
2 fresh red chiles or jalapeno peppers , seeds and ribs removed , cut crosswise into thin slices
3 tbsp chopped cilantro

Directions:

In a medium glass dish or stainless-steel pan, combine the chicken strips with the fish sauce and lime juice. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, bring the broth, lemongrass, and ginger to a simmer. Add the rice; simmer until the rice is almost done, about 15 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and bring back to a simmer. Stir in the chicken and marinade and cook until the chicken is just done, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chiles and cilantro.
Wine Recommendation: Semidry German riesling proves its food-friendliness by complementing this complex soup.
Notes: Asian fish sauce is available at Asian markets and many supermarkets
