We've deviated slightly from the classic version of a popular Thai soup by adding rice to make it more substantial. Serve it with lime wedges; a squirt at the table does wonders.

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless and skinless chicken breasts 3 tbsp. Asian fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam) 1 1/2 tbsp. lime juice 1 qt. plus 3/4 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock 3 stalks lemongrass One 1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger 1/2 c. long-grain rice 1 3/4 c. unsweetened coconut milk (15-ounce can) 2 fresh red chiles or jalapeño peppers 3 tbsp. Chopped cilantro

Instructions

In a medium glass dish or stainless-steel pan, combine the chicken strips with the fish sauce and lime juice. Set aside. In a large saucepan, bring the broth, lemongrass, and ginger to a simmer. Add the rice; simmer until the rice is almost done, about 15 minutes. Add the coconut milk and bring back to a simmer. Stir in the chicken and marinade and cook until the chicken is just done, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chiles and cilantro. Notes: Asian fish sauce is available at Asian markets and many supermarkets Wine Recommendation: Semidry German riesling proves its food-friendliness by complementing this complex soup.
