  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup sweet red chile sauce
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced
  • 10 kaffir lime leaves, torn and bruised
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
  • 1 (15 ounce) can straw mushrooms
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped onion
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 lemongrass stalk, chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh basil, chopped


  1. Warm chicken broth and coconut milk together in a stockpot over medium heat; add chile sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and kaffir lime leaves. Bring broth mixture to a low simmer until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes.
  2. Remove stockpot from heat and strain out ginger and lime leaves. Return broth mixture to the stockpot and bring to a simmer. Cook chicken in the simmering broth until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, onion, zucchini, lemongrass, and basil and simmer until onion softens, about 3 minutes.
