Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 medium onion, diced
2 green onions, sliced (optional)
2 small tomatoes , cut into eighths
1/2 lb skinless chicken breasts, diced (*) or 8 oz extra firm tofu, pressed and drained, cubed (*)
10 canned straw mushrooms
5 button mushrooms, quartered
4 cups chicken stock
2 stalks lemongrass, cut the stalks diagonally 2-inch long, scored lightly
6 kaffir lime leaves, fresh, scored lightly
6 slices fresh ginger ( approximately 1-inch in diameter, 1/8-inch thick)
3 tbsp fish sauce
1 1/4 tsp chili paste ( nam prik pao , thai with soya oil)
2 serrano chilies, thickly sliced (optional)
1 cup fresh cilantro, washed and roughly diced
2 tsp sugar
1/4 cup lime juice (to taste)
2 tbsp peanut oil

Directions:

In a medium-sized soup pot, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. Saute the chicken and/or tofu, onion (not the green onions), half each of the ginger and lemongrass until the chicken is only a little bit pink and the onion translucent.
Add the stock, fish sauce, remaining ginger and lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and (optional) serrano chilies. Simmer 10 - 15 minute covered on medium-low heat.
Add the sugar, Nam Prik Pao, and sliced tomatoes. Simmer an additional 2 minute.
Turn heat fully to low and add the lime juice to taste. Add half of the diced cilantro and the green onions, then let simmer on low for another few minutes.
Sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and serve with additional lime juice.
