Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For the lemongrass use only the solid portion and discard the woody grass part. With a heavy object bruise the sides, I use a meat tenderizer. Then cut into 2-3 inch sections. Take the lime leaves and make 3 to 5 slices in them from 3/4 of the way from the top of the leaf all the way down. Take a 12 inch square piece of cheese cloth and place the lemongrass, lime leaves and galangal in the center tie it shut with some string. This makes it much easier for when you eat, no suprises.
  2. Add chicken broth fish sauce and cheese cloth bag into pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Uncover the pot and add jalapeno's, onion, sugar and chicken.
  4. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add chile paste,and mushrooms. Simmer for 2 more minutes. Add green onions and simmer 30 seconds.

  7. If cooking with shrimp remove the heads and add them to the cheese cloth bag. Discard the rest of the shell deveinthe shrimp and add them 1 minute before everything is done.
