Thai

2 cups coconut milk
2 cups water
crushed galangal
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1 cup coconut milk

1 cup water
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 lb chicken
galangal
2 tsp lemongrass
3 chilies
kaffir lime leaves, torn

Boil 2 cups coconut milk and 2 cups water, then add crushed galangal. I have no idea where to buy this so I used a few dashes of ginger and some tamarind and it tasted the right amount of sweet/sour.
Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove galangal/tamarind.
Add sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, coconut milk, and possibly sour flavor whatever that is (I clearly skipped that last part)
Slice chicken across the meat grain
Heat coconut milk and water and boil chicken for 3 minutes.
Add galangal, lemongrass, chicken, kaffir lime leaves, chilies to soup - I'm totally using chili paste next time because crushing chilies is painful
Boil for 15 seconds and serve.
