Coconut Red Curry Hot Pot with Braised Chicken and Mushrooms

By BClover

Ingredients

• * 2 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
• * 3/4 cup chopped peeled fresh lemongrass
• * 6 Kaffir lime leaves, torn
• * 5 (1/4-inch) slices fresh galangal
• * 1 1/2 tablespoons red curry paste
• * 1 (4-ounce) package presliced exotic mushroom blend (such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster)
• * 8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• * 1 (13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk
• * 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce (such as Three Crabs)
• * 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• * 1/3 cup thinly diagonally cut green onions
• * 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• * 6 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, divided
• * 3 ounces uncooked wide rice noodles
• Look for Kaffir lime leaves and galangal—also known as Thai ginger—at ethnic markets and gourmet grocers. If you can't find them, use an extra 1/4 cup chopped peeled fresh lemongrass to flavor the broth. You can use regular ginger in place of galangal.

Stir in fish sauce and sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; stir in onions, juice, and 1/4 cup cilantro.
