2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced or quick tip: buy a rotisserie chicken + hand-shred it
2 C low-sodium chicken broth
1 carrot, shredded
2 stalks of lemon grass, halved lengthwise- if you cannot source it, you can use 1 TB lemongrsass paste
2 TB fish sauce
2 limes, zested + then juiced
1-inch ginger, minced
TOPPINGS:
Large handful bean sprouts
1 C optional prepared cauliflower “rice’ or
1 bunch of cilantro leaves, to top
3 green onions, thinly sliced
Dashes of liquid aminos
TO MAKE:
Take the “fat” or solid from the top of the coconut milk cans and place it into a large stockpot over medium-high heat- let it melt. Add in the the curry paste + stir for a few minutes until it begins to sizzle.
Add the cilantro and chicken (if not rotisserie chicken) + sauté until the chicken is cooked through-about 5-6 minutes.
Add the liquid from 1 can of the coconut milk and the rest of the 2nd can with the chicken broth, carrot, lemon grass, fish sauce, + both the lime zest and juice. Grate or place minced ginger into the pot- simmer for 20 minutes.
If you choose to put in cauliflower rice or rice noodles, stir them in gently. Remove from the heat and toss in the bean sprouts- let soften for 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, remove the lemongrass stalks if you used fresh lemongrass, put a few dashes of liquid minos if you’d like, + begin to serve with toppings of your choosing.
