Preparation method
- Bring 1 litre of water with the chicken thighs to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, open the coconut by poking out the holes in 2 of the 3 eyes, or indentations, at the base of the nut. Collect the coconut water in a glass. Tap the coconut carefully with the hammer until the shell starts to crack. Break it open and cut the coconut meat away from the shell. Grate the coconut meat.
- Chop the onion and finely chop the garlic. Peel and finely slice the ginger. Finely slice the rawit peppers. Slice the lemongrass stalks into 3 pieces.
- Remove the chicken from the cooking liquid. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a soup pan. Stir fry the onion, garlic, rawit peppers, ginger, lemongrass and the grated coconut for 3 minutes on a medium heat. Add the tomato purée, fry for 2 minutes. Then add the cooking liquid, coconut milk and stock cube. Bring to the boil then leave the mixture to simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the carrot into fine strips, the leek into thin half rings and the cooked chicken thigh into strips.
- Remove the lemongrass from the soup. Purée the soup with the blender. Season the soup with the ketjap, brown sugar and salt. Add the chicken and the prawns.
- Heat the rest of the coconut oil in the wok and stir fry the carrot, leek and bean sprouts on a high heat for 2 minutes. Divide the soup over 4 bowls and divide the vegetables over the bowls.
