LEMONGRASS CHICKEN WITH SNOW PEAS AND JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Prepare the rice using the package directions, except use 1 1/2 cups water and omit the salt and margarine.
• Meanwhile, trim and discard about 6 inches from the slender tip end of the lemongrass stalk. Remove the outer layer of the leaves from the bottom part of the stalk. Carefully cut the stalk in half lengthwise. Put in a large saucepan (don't add the lemon zest yet if using).
• Add the broth, remaining 2 cups water, and chicken to the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the mixture has a lemon flavor. Don't stir. Discard the lemongrass.
• Add the remaining ingredients (if you are using lemon zest instead of lemongrass, add it now). Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the snow peas are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Serve over the rice.
• Lemongrass is an herb that often is used in Thai cooking. Although the outer leaves and tops are too tough and fibrous to eat, they can be cooked to provide lemony flavor and an appealing fragrance without the acidity of fresh lemon. Chop or slice the lower part of the stem, the only edible part, for use in a variety of chicken and seafood dishes.
• Made of fresh chile peppers, herbs, and spices, Thai red curry paste is very hot and aromatic. The hotter the chile pepper used (Thai bird's eye is among the hottest), the hotter the chile paste; check the ingredients and make your selection accordingly. Among the many other ingredients that may be included in the paste are cinnamon, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, galangal or fresh ginger, garlic, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, onion, shrimp paste, turmeric, and vinegar.
