Chicken Soup with Lemon & Ginger (Kai Tom Khing)

Directions

Straw mushrooms are available canned in the Oriental section of many supermarkets or fresh in Asian groceries. Enoki mushrooms would probably be a good substitute.

Heat the oil in a saucepan or wok and fry the garlic until soft but not brown.

Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes.

Cool a little.

Add the water and mushrooms.

Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the lemon juice.

Cover, and cook gently for a further 10 minutes.

Add the chilies, spring onions and ginger.

Remove from the heat.

Sprinkle with coriander leaves before serving.
