Thai Culinary
Kitchen.
1 cup pea eggplant (eggplant cubed into small pieces will do)
5 kaffir leaves stem removed and torn
2 1/2 tbsp Thai fish sauce
2 ½ tbsp fresh lime juice
3 thin sliced fresh dried or matured galangal
3 red bird’s eye chilies
1 tbsp fresh chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves
Wash, peel and de-vein shrimp or prawns, remove the heads but keep the tails
intact. In a sauce pan, boil the water or stock over medium heat. Add lemongrass,
mushrooms, galangal, lime leaves and cook a few minutes until fragrant. Then
add prawn and simmer until they have just changed color, turn off heat.
In the serving bowl add the juice from fresh limes, chilies and fish sauce.
If you bruise the chili, the more you do the spicier the soup. Transfer the
ingredients from the sauce pan to the serving bowl and mix.
