For the broth
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - 2 cups water
- 3 stalks lemongrass, tough outer layers removed, cut into 2-inch pieces and lightly bruised
- 1 oz fresh galangal (or fresh ginger), sliced into coins
Chef's tipGinger is the closest stand-in - swap 1:1; the flavor is warmer and less piney. - 4 fresh kaffir lime leaves, torn in half
- 2 thai bird's eye chilies, halved lengthwise (use 1 for less heat)
