Thai Chicken Mushroom Broth Recipes

Steps:

• Place the chicken carcass into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain, and rinse the carcass under running water. Return the carcass to the pot along with the galangal, lime leaves, lemon grass, chile peppers, garlic, and shallot. Pour in 10 cups of water.
• Return to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, skimming the foam and fat often. Strain through cheesecloth before using.

Steps:

• Tip the stock into a saucepan, then stir in the curry paste, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice and most of the zest. Bring to the boil, then add the mushrooms and whites of the spring onion. Cover, then simmer for 2 mins.
• Stir in the chicken and most of the spring onion greens to gently heat through, then serve ladled into bowls and scattered with the remaining lime zest. Serve with extra lime juice, sugar and fish sauce on the side so everyone can adjust their own bowlfuls.

Steps:

• Using the small holes of a box grater, or a Microplane, grate the ginger, garlic and jalapeño (or finely chop them by hand). Transfer half to a large bowl and set the rest aside. To the large bowl, add the chicken, finely chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons fish sauce and 1 teaspoon salt. Use your hands or a fork to fully combine but do not overmix.
• Use your hands or an ice cream scoop to form 2-inch meatballs (about 2 ounces each). In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the meatballs in a single layer and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on two sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat, adding oil as needed.
• Once all the meatballs are browned and out of the pot, if the oil is burned, wipe it out and add a bit more to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium, add the reserved ginger mixture and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs and any juices from the plate, and simmer until the flavors come together and the meatballs are cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in the spinach and lime juice. Divide rice among bowls, then top with meatballs, broth and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into bite-size strips, about 1/4-inch wide. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick frying pan set over medium-high heat. Add about half of chicken ad stir-fry until almost cooked, from 3-4 minutes. Remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken, add more oil if needed. Remove to plate.
• Add remaining oil to pan, then mushroom, ginger, jalapeno, pepper, garlic, and chili flakes. Stir often until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, fish sauce and sugar. When boiling, add chicken and and any juices that have collected on plate. Cook uncovered, and stirring often, just until chicken is done as you like it, or feels springy to the touch, about 2 minutes. Sti in onion and basil. Taste and add a little more fish sauce if you like.
• Spoon over rice in individual bowls.

• Remove from heat and add about 1/2 the cilantro.
• Serve with plates of cilantro, lime wedges, and fresh sliced jalapenos.

Steps:
