1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 (2-inch) piece fresh galangal or ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
6 kaffir lime leaves, halved, or 6 strips lime zest with a vegetable peeler
1 shallot, thinly sliced
3 Thai bird chiles
1 1/2 pounds pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch strips

1
Preheat a 4-quart slow cooker.
2
On a cutting board, using the side of a chef's knife, lightly smash lemongrass. Combine lemongrass, broth, fish sauce, sugar, galangal, lime leaves, shallot, chiles, chicken, and mushrooms in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until chicken is cooked through, about 2 1/2 hours (or on low for 5 hours).
3
Add coconut milk and carrot, and cook on high 30 minutes longer (or on low for 1 hour). Stir in lime juice, cilantro, basil, and scallion. Top with cilantro and basil, and serve with chili oil sauce.

Tip: Chili oil sauce-a mixture of ground dried chiles, soybean oil, garlic, and sesame oil-is sold in Asian markets and even many supermarkets. It can be used in any recipe that calls for red-pepper flakes.
