Thai Chicken Coconut Soup

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Thai

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 cans coconut milk — (make sure it’s the
unsweetened kind)
3 tablespoons chopped scallions
3 teaspoons lemon grass
cilantro — (preferably fresh.
— optional
tofu — cubed small
chicken — cubed to bite size
— pieces
mushrooms
1 carrot — grated

serrano chillies — (or any other hot
— chili, again
preferably
pepper — fresh but powdered
— will do
1 teaspoon galanga powder

Heat the coconut milk in a pot. Add everything else. As the lemon grass is

inedible, put it in a tea ball and immerse the ball in the soup so you can retr
ieve it later. Cook until the chicken is done and the soup is hot (30 minutes?
). Taste to see if it needs more limes (it always does) or more hot

peppers (it’s better to start mild and build up to the desired level of spicyne
ss).

1 1/2 c Warm water
1 c Hard whole wheat flour
Mix together and let sit
-until bubbly
2 1/4 c Hard whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tb Oil
2 1/2 tb Sesame seeds
1/2 tb To 1 tb garlic powder (to
-taste)

From The Honey Bear Bakery, Kalispell, Montana Makes 8
sizeable bagels.

Eggless. A handsome bagel. Double the recipe if you
expect company – they’ll disappear fast. Omit the
sesame and garlic for plain bagels.

Add remaining ingredients to sponge and knead dough
well.

Let dough rise in an oiled bowl that’s covered until
double in size. Punch down and divide into 8 pieces.
Start a large pan of water boiling. Some say honey
helps the glaze. . . you may (opt) add 1/2 Tbs honey
to the water. Shape into round rolls, then push
thumbs through center and shape the hole.

Drop the bagels into boiling water right away after
shaping them. Leave for about a minute – they’ll puff
up fast. Remove and put on oiled pan. Bake at 350 F
for 20-25 min or at 400F for 10-15 min, until lightly
browned.
