Directions
Directions :
1.Mix the coconut milk, broth or water, fish sauce, ginger root, and star anise in a saucepan over medium heat.
2.When the mixture comes to a boil, lower to a simmer and stir in the frozen peas. (While this simmers I usually chop my onions and cilantro, and quarter the lime.)
3.When the peas are warm, about five minutes, add the chicken, stir and simmer another five minutes until the chicken is warmed through.
4.Remove the anise stars and the ginger nob.
5.Warm the rice (I usually throw it in the microwave for about 50 seconds, just to get the chill off)
6.Pour the soup over the rice.
7.Serve with the cilantro, scallions, a squeeze of lime and a few squirts of Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce.
