Servings: persons

1 pound boneless chicken breast
2 stalks of lemon grass
11 ounces thin rice noodles
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 red chili pepper, finely diced
1 tablespoon yellow or red curry paste
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
4 teaspoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon palm sugar (can substitute regular or brown sugar)
3 1/2 ounces of salted peanuts, chopped (put in a ziploc bag and use a meat mallet to chop)
1/2 cucumber, sliced
Mild sweet chili sauce or hot, depending on preference

1
Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Trim the lemon grass and cut the lower pale sections into rings (can then put this in a food processor to make even smaller) and set aside.
2
Boil water for rice noodles. Cook rice noodles for about 8 minutes on rolling boil, stirring often to make sure the noodles don't stick together. Drain and cut so the noodles are easier to eat.
3
Meanwhile, heat oil in a wok and sear the onion and garlic. Add the curry paste and 2 tablespoons of coconut milk and heat stirring constantly. Mix in curry paste so that it is not lumpy.
4
Add the chicken and lemon grass to the wok and fry for about 5 minutes. Top with 2/3 cup of coconut milk and the chili pepper. Allow to simmer over low heat for another 3 minutes. Season to taste with fish sauce, lime juice and sugar.
5
Serve chicken on top of rice noodles, with chopped peanuts and sliced cucumbers. Offer hot or sweet chili sauce on the side, to stir in.
