Ingredients

1 chicken, 1.5kg

2 stalks of lemon grass

fresh ginger (thumb-size, peeled and cut into chunks)

juice of 1 lemon

2 red chili peppers

1 chicken broth cube

salt

fresh coriander leaves

saffron (optional; alternatively: pinch of turmeric)

Directions

Place chicken in a large pot, cover with cold water

Bring to a boil

Add ginger chunks, chopped chili pepper and cut up lemon grass

When the chicken is tender, remove from the pot and allow to cool

Remove the breast meat (and other parts you like to eat) and cut into big chunks

Put carcass, skin, wings, etc. back into the broth and continue to boil to make a strong broth; boil down to about 2 litres

Pour through a strainer to remove carcass, ginger and other bits and pieces

season with broth cube and/or salt and lemon juice

add chicken cubes to the clear broth

Saffron will give it a lovely golden colour

Add some sliced red chili (optional)

Pour into serving bowl and garnish with freshly cut coriander leaves
