11430 Thai Coconut Chicken Soup 30 minutes 10 minutes 4 servings Sun Jan 27 17:11:58 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 04:58:23 -0800 2008 Thai User http://www.chow.com/recipes/11430 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:58:23 GMT I am an accomplished Thai cuisine cook and an up and coming authentic Chinese cook. I lived in Bangkok Thailand for over 5 years so I am very familiar with how they cook, how dishes should taste, and how to recognize the best ingredients. I’ll be posting Thai dishes here for the most part, but some will be off that path.

This is my recipe for Thai coconut chicken soup like you’d get in a Thai restaurant. I grew up in Thailand and we had maids that would prepare our meals. They showed me how to make this soup and here is the recipe:

]]>
  • Slice the chili peppers then fry in oil for a few seconds until cooked.
  • In a soup pot, heat coconut milk with chicken stock over medium heat and bring to a boil.
  • Add galanga, lemon grass, cooked peppers from the other pan, grated lime rind and lime leaves
  • Continue to boil for a minute and then reduce heat to a simmer
  • Add shrimp paste, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, straw mushrooms and pepper flakes
  • Stir to mix
  • Drop chicken pieces one at a time into the broth. Do not stir until chicken is cooked.
  • When chicken is done, stir in sliced button mushrooms and remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
