Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 or 4 stalks lemon grass
4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
3 kaffir lime leaves, very thinly sliced
5 ounces oyster mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
8 ounces jumbo shrimp
2 to 3 bird pepper chilies, stemmed, seeded and minced
2 to 3 teaspoons nam pla (fish sauce)
3 to 4 tablespoons (or more) lime juice
5 sprigs cilantro, washed, dried and chopped
4 whole kaffir lime leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Trim the bottom of the lemon grass, and remove tough layers. Using a food processor or Japanese or French mandoline, slice the bottom 3 or 4 inches of the stalk tissue-thin.
  • Bring the stock to a boil. Add lemon grass and sliced lime leaves, and boil one minute.
  • Add the mushrooms, and simmer until mushrooms have softened, 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp, chilies and fish sauce, and cook until shrimp are just done. (Do not overcook the shrimp.)
  • Stir in the lime juice, tasting as you add. Serve, sprinkled with cilantro and the 4 whole lime leaves.
