ISO: ISO lemon grass soup (no shrimp or chicken)
- Thread starter rvb
- Start date
In Search Of:
I could eat that every day. REC: Tom Yam
1 kg. fresh mushrooms
2 lemon grass stalks
5 kaffir lime leaves
2 coriander plants, roots removed
1-2 dried chillies
10 hot chillies
3-4 lemons
1/2 kg. grated coconut
2-3 T. nam pla (fish sauce)
If mushrooms are large, cut in half or thirds
Wash lemon grass, slice and crush. Teak lime leaves
Wash coriander & chop coarsely.
Mix 2 c. water with coconut, then squeeze out 3. c. coconut milk and heat. When boiling, add lemon grass, karrifr lime leaves, and mushtrooms, and season with nam pla. When mushrooms are cooked, remove pot from heat and add lemon juice, and both chillies. Sprinkle with coriander.
Me....I prefer the canned Chinese straw mushrooms in this and of course, nowhere near the number of chillies. In fact, I normally use canned coconut milk, but this is a very authentic recipe.

thanks marg!! believe it or not...
my copy of Thai Food by david thompson doesnt have it.
i have 4 lemon grass plants this year and plan to really thai one on.
by the way - lemon grass without roots will root in water in about 2 weeks. i had heard that it wouldn't but experience shows otherwise.

Oh snort snort. Cute. Yes, I have rooted lemon grass, then grew it successfully
and did nothing with it. It quadrupled. Stooopid me.
I also bought a nursery plant that just didn't take off. I'm really not sure if it needs to be separated halfway thru the season. Do you? This bushy plant is the same as I had last year. It just did not get big enough stalks on it last year.
Maybe I should just stick to the root root root your own method.
Now, my kaffir seeds are just starting to sprout. That would be quite the feat to get that to go. They are such a prohibited plant and I'm not sure what their disease is.
