Ingredients:

Serving

16 fl oz chicken stock
4 -5 kaffir lime leaves, shredded
2 inches lemongrass , bruised to release flavor
1 inch galangal, sliced thinly ( thai ginger)
4 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
4 oz chicken breasts , cut into smallish bite sized pieces
5 fl oz coconut milk
thai red chili pepper, slightly crushed (to taste, very hot !)
coriander leaves (to garnish , cilantro)

Directions:

Heat the stock, add the lime leaves, lemon grass, galangal, fish sauce, and lime juice.
Stir thoroughly, bring to a boil, and add the chicken and coconut milk.
Bring back to the boil, lower the heat to keep it simmering and cook for about 2 minutes (until the chicken is cooked through).
Not really intended to be eaten as a separate course, you could serve it with just a serving of steamed Thai jasmine rice, or together with a Thai meal.
This quantity serves 4 with other food, but is probably only enough for two if eaten separately.
