* 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (I cook and freeze this prior to trip and cut up when ready to cook to bite-size chunks) * 2 cups chicken stock (make from boulin cubes) * 2-4 inches of ginger root depending on how much you like ginger(sliced up - leave the slices big so people can pick them out) * 1 stalk fresh lemongrass, cut in 1-inch pieces and crushed (optional. The recipe I used had this, you can add it out not) * 3 cups of coconut milk (I use the powder and reconstitute it) * 2 small packets of lemon juice - I grab a couple when at a restaurant that has them out for tea. Otherwise, if you bring in squeeze lemon for your fresh caught fish this works too) * 1 store bundle of scallions (I cut these in half and put them in one of those plastic containers Crystal Lite comes in) * 1 garlic clove (I bring the whole cluster and add oil to the rest and and pack it in tin foil and toss in the coals for a roasted garlic snack) * 1 store packet of red curry (more if you like the curry * 1 cup of reconstituted pepper flakes (Penzys) * 1 package of dehydrated mushrooms (I get the shittake or oyster, rehydrate before using) * 1 jalapeno pepper (Optional. Slice and leave out for those that want this extra zing) 1) Place chicken, chicken stock, ginger, and white part of scallons, garlic, and lemon grass in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. 2) Lower heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through. 3) Add coconut milk and curry, peppers, and mushrooms; and continue lower heat until soup comes back to a simmer. 4) Just before serving stir in lemon juice and green parts of scallons (the original recipe said this and said to use lime juice - when camping I just dump all the last things in at the same time) Serve with rice |

There are numerous recipes to this, but here some of my tricks to not carry in too much weight: *powdered coconut milk/cream - all asian markets carry it *dehydrated mushrooms - all asian markets have it and a lot if super markets now carry it in the ethnic sections *dehydrated green/red bell pepper flakes - the only place I have found this is Penzeys (online or stores in some metro areas) |
