INGREDIENTS
Serves 4
4 cups chicken stock
350 g chicken thigh, 1-inch pieces
3 Tbsp fish sauce
2 heads shallots
3-4 dried chilies (or substitute fresh chilies)
2 stalks lemongrass, bottom half only, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
5-6 rounds galangal
5-6 kaffir lime leaves, torn
2 heads shallots, cut in half vertically
3-4 dried chilies
2 Tbsp tamarind juice
200 grams oyster, straw or beech mushrooms
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halves, or regular tomatoes, cut into wedges
2-3 Tbsp lime juice (how much you need depends on the acidity of your tamarind)
-1 tsp sugar (you may or many not need this)
Salt as needed
1/4 cup cilantro
3-4 leaves sawtooth coriander (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring 4 cups of stock to a boil in a medium pot.
While the stock is heating, place the dried chilies on a sheet pan and, without
preheating, broil them on low in the oven on the top rack. When the chilies
puff up and start to darken in colour, remove from heat and add them directly
to the stock pot. If you want a spicier soup, break the chilies in half before
adding.
Turn the broiler up to high and broil the shallots, cut side up, until the
edges are charred, about 3-5 minutes. Add them to the stock pot.
Once the stock boils, add chicken, 2 Tbsp fish sauce, and simmer for 15 minutes
until the chicken is fork tender. Once chicken is tender, add lemongrass,
galangal, kaffir lime leaves and simmer for 3-5 minutes to infuse. Then add 2
Tbsp tamarind juice, sugar, mushrooms and tomatoes; bring the soup back to a
boil. Remove from heat and stir in 2 Tbsp lime juice. Taste and adjust
seasoning with the remaining lime juice, fish sauce and/or salt as needed.
Stir in cilantro and sawtooth coriander just before serving.
