Directions:
1. Cut the chicken in slices, about 2" by 1" by 1/4": put 1 1/2 c. of water in the pot and bring it to boil, add galangal and lemon grass, add chicken and when it is quite cooked add coconut milk; don't overcook it as the coconut would turn too oily; add mushroom.
2. Prepare three soup cups; crush the peppers and put in the bowls as much as needed (could be one to four); cut the limes in wedges; divide chicken and stick in the bowls; add fish sauce and lemon juice to the taste; top the hot soup with coriander which is semi-finely cut.
3. Serve it with white steamed rice.
