  1. Simmer chicken stock with galangal (or ginger), lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves 10 minutes.

  3. Stir in coconut milk and mushrooms. Simmer 5 minutes without a hard boil.
  4. Season with fish sauce, sugar and chili.
  5. Take off the heat, add lime juice and coriander, and serve.

Shopping tip

Leite de coco gordo and molho de peixe at Continente. Galanga is the soup; gengibre is the stand-in, not the same. Folhas de lima kaffir: raspa de lima. Erva-limão sometimes there. Picada or coxas de frango.
