4 cups (1 litre) Thai Chicken Stock

6-8 medium prawns or shrimp, shells intact
1 cup (5 oz/150g) fresh or canned straw mushrooms or small button mushrooms, sliced in half
5-10 bird's-eye chilies, smashed
3 tablespoons lime juice
0.5 tablespoon fish sauce
3 sprigs fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
1) Bring the stock to a boil and add kaffir lime leaves, galangal, coriander roots and lemongrass. Simmer for 15 minutes.
2) Add the prawns or shrimp, mushrooms and chilies, simmer for 3 minutes. Add the lime juice and fish sauce (which is very salty, and do not pour too much into your soup but just try to add drop by drop) to taste. Garnished with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot.
Tips : Do not overcook the prawns or they will become tough. Use home-made chicken stock in this dish for the best flavor.What is your favourite Thai recipe?

I love most Thai dishes....good thing I live in Thailand. If I could only pick one, pad ga pow moo....minced pork with garlic, chili and Thai basil served over rice.
I personally like spicy food.Or peanut sauce.
3 flavor chicken
If they sold that sauce I'd buy it by the gallon!
Well...it's really hard to choose since I love most thai food - but if I had to...
Probably a really spicy papaya salad or penang curry!
yum!
Mmmm green coconut curry! For a healthier alternative, I adore this vegan red curry coconut soup I got from a blog. Quick, easy, super tasty, good for you. I love a ton of Thai food, but never can remember the names, so each visit is a new adventure.
