Preparation

Step 1

Saute onions, mushrooms, sesame seed and garlic in butter until browned. Add lemon grass, ginger, chillies, peppercorns and chicken broth, bring to boil and cook on moderate heat until reduced by about one-half.

Add dried mango (if using fresh mango, add that at the end, not now), coconut milk, liquor and chicken and heat slowly until warmed through. Add cilantro and cream and simmer only a few minutes. If sauce is too thin, stir in cornstarch until thickened.

Serve immediately over fragrant Thai (sticky) rice.
