Steps:
- With a cleaver or poultry shears halve chicken breasts and cut each half crosswise into 4 pieces. If using chicken legs, cut each leg into 2 pieces, drumstick and thigh. (You may instead ask your butcher to cut up the chicken.)
- With a mortar and pestle or in a small food processor pound or blend peppercorns and garlic with a pinch salt to a smooth paste. Add coriander roots and pound or blend to a paste. In a large bowl stir together coriander paste, fish sauce, and coconut milk. Add chicken and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate chicken, covered, at room temperature 45 minutes.
- Prepare grill (or preheat broiler).
- Grill chicken, skin sides down, on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Brush top of chicken lightly with marinade, discarding any remaining marinade, and turn chicken. Grill chicken until just cooked through and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes more. (Alternatively, chicken may be broiled in same manner on lightly oiled rack of a large broiler pan about 4 to 6 inches from heat.)

YAM MAKEUA YANG
(Thai Eggplant Salad) Thai dishes known as yams are often translated into English as "salads", perhaps for lack of a better word. Like salads, yams are often served at room temperature and include fresh herbs and raw vegetables. Unlike salads, however, which Westerners often eat to refresh their palates, yams are anything but shy in flavor. In Thailand they are often served when people get together for a glass of beer and want something to nibble on. In this yam, Asian eggplants - long and narrow and ranging from deep purple to pale violet - are broiled and tossed with shallots, Vietnamese coriander, and a dressing that is at once salty, sour, spicy, and slightly sweet. After you have made the salad once, you may want to experiment with the balance of seasonings, perhaps increasing the chili heat. Vietnamese coriander is known in Vietnam as rau ram and in Thailand as pak chi wietnam. It is usually sold in open bunches or in cellophane and can be found at Vietnamese and Thai markets.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Cut eggplants diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices, discarding stem ends. On a lightly oiled large baking sheet arrange slices in one layer and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until golden, about 8 minutes. Turn slices over and broil until golden, about 8 minutes. Cool eggplant slices slightly and chop coarse. In a bowl combine eggplant, shallots, and Vietnamese coriander (or alternative).
- In a small bowl stir together lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and chili and pour dressing over eggplant. Toss mixture well and let stand 30 minutes to blend flavors.
- Arrange lettuce on a plate, overlapping leaves, and mound eggplant on tip. Serve eggplant with rice. Lettuce leaves can be used to pick up some salad.
