Thai Chicken and Coconut Soup
We've deviated slightly from the classic version of a popular Thai soup by adding rice to make it more substantial. Serve it with lime wedges; a squirt at the table does wonders.
How to Make It
Step 1
In a medium glass dish or stainless-steel pan, combine the chicken strips with the fish sauce and lime juice. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, bring the broth, lemongrass, and ginger to a simmer. Add the rice; simmer until the rice is almost done, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Add the coconut milk and bring back to a simmer. Stir in the chicken and marinade and cook until the chicken is just done, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chiles and cilantro.
Step 4
Wine Recommendation: Semidry German riesling proves its food-friendliness by complementing this complex soup.
Step 5
Notes: Asian fish sauce is available at Asian markets and many supermarkets
