I know, I know, it's not authentic and it doesn't contain all the ingredients in the Thai name. But for poor, deprived college-town students like me, this is pretty close to what you can find at Thai restaurants. I'll eat it for dinner with some Thai tea (though I'm usually too lazy to make it), though it's not traditionally meant to be served as its own course. You could substitute shrimp or tofu for the chicken, just skip the velveting preparation. I velvet the chicken so it doesn't get tough in the soup, but you don't have to. If you don't, just sauté the chicken in some oil until it turns white and then cook it until it's done in the simmering soup.

Steps:
- To velvet chicken: Lightly beat egg white and combine with cornstarch. Toss the chicken strips or cubes in this mixture, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat the water and oil in a pot or a wok, until it's hot enough that a piece of chicken floats to the top when you put it inches Put the chicken in, in shifts if you have to to keep it from crowding, and cook until it's white, about 30 seconds. If you're not using the chicken straight away, refrigerate it until you do.
- To prepare the soup: Heat coconut milk and chicken broth to boiling.
- Turn down heat, add fish sauce, chili sauce, ginger, lemon and lime juices, and lemon zest, chicken, and mushrooms and simmer for a couple minutes.
- Add chopped green onions and chopped cilantro and serve.
