Ingredients:

Serving

1 4- inch piece young galangal
9 cloves garlic, minced
15 sprigs cilantro stems with roots, minced (1/4 cup), plus 4 sprigs cilantro
4 stalks lemongrass, green parts and hard outer layers removed, 2 stalks minced, 2 stalks sliced into 3-inch lengths and lightly crushed
1 tsp thai white peppercorns, dry roasted and finely ground
3 shallots, minced
4 cups fresh unsweetened coconut cream and milk (combined to make consistency of whole milk)
1 3- lb chicken, rinsed , thoroughly dried, and chopped into bite-size pieces
7 kaffir lime leaves , hard center stems removed , or zest of two limes
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 tbsp fish sauce (namm pla)
7 fresh bird chiles or 5 to 6 serrano chiles
1 to 2 limes, sliced into wedges

Directions:

Using a mortar and pestle, pound half of the galangal with the garlic into a paste. One at a time, add the cilantro stems and roots, miced lemongrass, ground peppercorns, and shallots in sequence, adding each new ingredient only after the previous one is pureed and incorporated into a fine paste. Set aside, or transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate.
In a 4-quart saucepan, bring the coconut cream and milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Do not overheat or it will curdle. Add the galangal paste and stir well, then add the chicken and bring to a boil. Add the kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass stalks, sea salt, fish sauce, the remaining galangal and the chiles, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for about 45 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked.
Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with the cilantro sprigs, and serve with the lime wedges.
