    3                    Stalks of lemon grass
                         - cut up into 2" pieces
                         - and separated
    6                    Pieces of dried galangal
    1       cn           Coconut milk
    2       tb           Sugar
    2       ts           Salt
    1       t            Dried crushed red chilis
                         -- (optional)
    7       c            -Water
 
   Place the chicken, lemon grass and galangal in a soup pot.  Add the water
   and cook over medium for about 30 minutes.  Add the remaining ingredients
   and simmer for 20 minutes.  You may need to adjust the salt, sugar and
   water as I find the taste varies with the brand of coconut milk used. Serve
   with extra chilis and white rice.
