1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	- mixed vegetables - (see note below)
2		To
6		Red chile peppers (small)
1/2		Fresh lemon grass
2		Kaffir lime leaves
2 tablespoons	30ml	Oil
1/2 cup	118ml	Coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1		To
4 tablespoons	60ml	Fish sauce - based on personal
		(omit for veggie version)
15		Basil leaves
1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Chopped cabbage

Recipe Instructions

Thinly cut chicken into 2-inch strips. (If doing veggie version, cut vegetables into thin strips.) Grind together red chili peppers, lemon grass, and kaffir lime leaves in a food processor or pound in a mortar.

Heat oil to medium-high and saute pepper mixture for 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken (or vegetables) and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked (same time for veggies). Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in fish sauce (if using), salt, and basil. Serve on a bed of chopped cabbage.

Note: ===== For mixed vegetables, choose from among bell peppers, string beans, water chestnuts, tomatoes (small cherry tomatoes are best), bamboo shoots, miniature corn, asparagus, cucumbers, zucchini, Japanese eggplant, and mushrooms. I particularly like string beans or asparagus, a few cherry tomatoes, shredded (rather than sliced) bamboo shoots, miniature corn, and some straw mushrooms or slender (Japanese) eggplant.
