Provided by Chez_Alexander

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 TBS peanut oil
4 (4 oz) skinless chicken thighs
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 TBS red curry paste
2 (13.5 oz) cans coconut milk (do not shake before opening!)
3 TBS brown sugar
2 TBS Thai fish sauce
2 TBS lime juice (~ 1 lime)
1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
1 small can pineapple chunks, drained
1/2 cup frozen peas
Fresh, chopped basil or cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Open coconut milk. Scrape 2 TBS coconut solids from tops of cans. Add coconut solids and peanut oil to medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook on both sides until brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. 2. Add minced garlic to skillet and saute one minute. Add curry paste, and saute 2 minutes, blending paste with garlic and oil and scraping up any browned bits. 3. Add remainder of coconut milk and solids to saucepan and mix well, scraping any browned bits. Add brown sugar, fish sauce, and 2 TBS lime juice, mixing well. Bring to a boil, and add browned chicken thighs to pan, making sure curry covers thighs. Reduce heat to low and cover pan. Simmer about 20 minutes. 4. Uncover pan and add sweet potato chunks. Cover pan and simmer another 20 minutes. 5. Remove chicken thighs from pan. Remove meat from bone and cut into large pieces. Return chicken to pan along with peas. Simmer another 5 minutes. 6. To make chili-lime sauce, combine chili-lime salt with lime juice, and put into 4 individual dipping bowls.

1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
2 lemongrass stalks, bottom 4 inches only, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce

THAI-STYLE CHICKEN COCONUT SOUP WITH LEMON & LIME



Thai-style Chicken Coconut Soup with Lemon & Lime image

This soup, reminiscent of Tom Kha Gai, is made with easily found ingredients. Like many a homemade soup, you can vary the soup according to what you have at hand and substitute as I did. You can even substitute turkey for chicken. "Tom-kha-gai" roughly translates to "soup-galangal-chicken." Galangal is a root similar to ginger. Other ingredients of a true Tom kha gai include Keffir lime leaves and lemon grass. There are many more-authentic recipes for Tom Kha Gai on the Web and it is from these I got my inspiration.

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 to 4 cup(s) chicken broth (preferably homemade to avoid a too-salty soup)
1 bunch(es) fine rice noodles, ramen noodles or vermicelli
1 can(s) straw mushrooms, drained and cut in half (other canned or thinly sliced raw mushrooms may be substituted)
1/2 cup(s) red bell pepper, julienned
1 medium lemon, juice only (optionally add the zest)
1 medium lime, juice only (optionally add the zest but this can be bitter)
8 ounce(s) cooked chicken, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon(s) thai fish sauce (nam pla, sometimes called thai seasoning sauce)
2 to 3 dash(es) tabasco (as a substitute for thai chiles)
1 to 2 tablespoon(s) grated fresh ginger
1 can(s) coconut milk, unsweetened (light okay)
1 to 2 tablespoon(s) brown sugar (if needed to adjust tartness)
2 cup(s) fresh spinach, basil or cilantro, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium soup pot, bring chicken broth to a simmer and add the noodles. Let the noodles simmer slowly as you prepare and add the other ingredients. Note: if you are using fresh mushrooms, slice them thinly and give them a five-minute head start in the boiling broth before adding the noodles.
  • Add the rest of ingredients (but not the spinach, cilantro, or basil) to the broth. Simmer slowly.
  • After the mixture has simmered for about 5 minutes, taste and adjust the seasoning with Thai fish sauce (for saltiness), Tabasco and ginger (for heat) and brown sugar (for sweetness). If you wish to add a stronger taste of lemon or more bitterness from the lime, add in some zest of each.
  • As soon as the noodles are done, add the spinach, cilantro or basil. Simmer one more minute and serve hot.
