Time 40m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup coconut milk
1 lb chicken breast, cubed
1 lb green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons water
2 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon lemongrass, powder
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons fish sauce

Steps:

  • Mix the water, curry powder, lemongrass powder, oil, and fish sauce with a fork to form a paste. Reserve.
  • Heat the coconut milk on low heat 5-6 minutes. Add the curry paste.
  • Add chicken, then add green beans. Simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes. Stir or shake pan occasionally, but try to make sure chicken stays at the bottom of the mix (green beans are less likely to have salmonella, so their cooking isn't as critical).
  • Curry is done when chicken is tender. Serve over rice.

LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SOUP

In Chinese cultures, lemongrass and cilantro are considered yin ingredients -- cooling elements that are ideal on hot days. The subtle heat of ginger and chile, combined with the bright aroma of fresh mint, enlivens this lightened rendition of chicken soup.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds skinless chicken legs
4 lemongrass stalks, white and pale-yellow parts only, smashed and chopped
4 scallions, halved crosswise
1 onion, halved lengthwise
2 ounces ginger (1-inch piece), 1/2 thinly sliced and 1/2 julienned
1 fresh Thai or serrano chile, seeded
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
10 cups water
5 stems fresh cilantro, plus 1/3 cup leaves
3 stems fresh mint, plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 cup mung bean sprouts

Steps:

  • Place chicken, lemongrass, scallions, onion, sliced ginger, chile, peppercorns, and water in a large pot. Cover, and bring to a simmer. Uncover partially, and gently simmer for 1 hour.
  • Add cilantro and mint stems, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add fish sauce, and strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve. Reserve broth and chicken. Discard remaining solids. Shred chicken meat, and discard bones. Refrigerate broth and chicken separately for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  • Skim fat from broth, and reheat broth. Combine chicken, julienned ginger, cilantro leaves, thinly sliced mint, and bean sprouts in a bowl. Divide broth among bowls, and serve with chicken mixture on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemongrass. Look for lemongrass stalks that are fresh, plump, and have a strong citrusy aroma. Avoid stalks that are dry, wilted, or have brown spots.
  • Prep the lemongrass properly. To use lemongrass in soup, remove the tough outer layer and cut the stalk into thin slices. You can also bruise the lemongrass with a mortar and pestle to release its flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When adding the chicken and vegetables to the soup, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the soup from boiling properly and the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the chicken, vegetables, and lemongrass to meld together and create a delicious, flavorful soup.
  • Season the soup to taste. Once the soup is finished simmering, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of fish sauce for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Cambodian Lemongrass Chicken Soup is a delicious, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold day or a light meal. The lemongrass gives the soup a unique citrusy flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. This soup is also very easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your soup spicy or mild, vegetarian or with chicken, this recipe is a great starting point for creating a delicious and satisfying soup.
