Method (preview)

1. 1

   A lovely lemony, creamy soup, Dom Yam Gai calls for chicken pieces cut through the bone with a heavy cleaver, Chinese style.

2. 2

   If you find gnawing on chicken pieces and delicately trying to remove the bone, vainly searching for a place to deposit it, inhibiting your dinner conversation, you may debone the bird and substitute chicken pieces.

3. 3

   In a saucepan, bring the “Thin” coconut milk to a boil.

4. 4

   Add the chicken pieces, lemon grass and Laos powder.

5. 5

   Reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Do not cover as this will tend to curdle coconut milk.

7. 7

   When the chicken is tender, add the green onions, coriander leaves and chillies.

8. 8

   Bring the heat up just below boiling.

9. 9

   Remove the pan from heat, stir in lime juice, fish sauce and serve.
