Look for kaffir lime leaves at your local Asian grocery store. If you can’t find them, you can instead add 1/2 tsp freshly-grated lime zest.

Pro tip

Step 1

The aromatics. Add the chicken broth, garlic, galangal (or ginger), shallot, lemongrass, Thai chili, tamari sauce, fish sauce, and coconut sugar to a 3-quart pot over high heat. Bring to a boil.
