Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups chicken stock
1 stalk lemongrass, fresh
2 -3 kaffir lime leaves
2 tbsp thai roasted chili paste ( nam prik pao)
6 thai green bird's eye chilies (or serrano chillies)
4 tbsp fish sauce
4 tbsp coriander leaves ( cilantro)
1 medium lime , juice of
1 medium onion (sliced )
1 tsp white sugar
1 cup boneless cooked chicken breasts (chopped if using chicken) or 1 cup raw prawns
1 (8 oz) can straw mushrooms
3 tbsp green onions, sliced thin
1 piece peeled fresh gingerroot

Directions:

Using only the white part of the lemongrass (discard the rest), pound to release the flavor and cut into 2 inch segments.
Put lemongrass, fish sauce, ginger root and stock into a pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Uncover the pot and add the Kaffir lime leaves, chilies, onion, sugar and chicken pieces (if using prawns, add during last two minutes of cooking).
Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add Nam Prik Pao and mushrooms. Simmer for yet another 2 minutes. Now add the green onions and let it simmer for 30 seconds.
Turn off the heat, add lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves. Test for saltiness and sourness. If required, adjust with more fish sauce (salt) and lemon juice (sour).
If you can't find Kaffir Lime leaves, lime zest is the closest thing (use 1-2 tsp).
