    This was delicious. I used 2 X 270g cans of Ayam coconut milk and one of coconut cream. I swapped the vegetable oil for coconut oil, also swapped the fish sauce for soy. Used 800g chicken breast. Thickened after cooking with cornflour & cooked another 2 mins.
    i think I would add another red chilli as it had no heat.

    We loved this, served it with rice and a fresh corn on the cob. Yes it’s a bit wet but all the better to mop up with your rice. So quick and easy to make, my hubby made ours and it’s a keeper!

    Submitted by Mrs Perkington on 15. August 2016 - 23:07.

    Delicious weeknight dinner! A winner for my husband and me, served in a bowl over steamed brown rice. We enjoyed the soupy consistency and wouldn't want to thicken it.  Modifications:

    1 garlic clove + 1 purple shallot mixed in with lemongrass etc.

    Coconut oil instead of vegetable oil

    1 teaspoon brown sugar added with fish sauce and lime.

    500g chicken thigh fillets

    Used 200ml coconut cream and water 

    Added capsicum, zucchini and bok choy.

  • I used the rind of one lime

    Submitted by Frenzy with Thermie on 13. July 2016 - 00:15.

    I used the rind of one lime as I didn't have any Kaffir lime leaves, used only 2 lemongrass stalks although I'm pretty sure I use more of the stalk than you are supposed to, swapped out the vegetable oil for coconut oil, used coconut cream as thats all I had and added some peas for colour. Absolutely loved it!!

    Magnificent. Everyone loved this. I doubled the recipe added garlic and small amount of sugar (but unnecessary I think). I also used breast and cut into bite size cubes and they held together well.

    Submitted by Puggie on 14. February 2014 - 18:41.

    We really enjoyed this!The sauce was a little thin - so I added some desicated coconut which helped. Also added some steamed zucchini, capsicum and snow peas and mixed in (Counter-clockwise operation Gentle stir setting 10 seconds or so). Oversteamed the veg a bit (did those on stovetop in a steamer basket - got a bit too involved in the show I was watching :P )Still an awesome easy recipe and will be adding it to my regular list!

    This was excellent. We added salt and about a tablespoon of palm sugar after reading the comments. I wasn't able to get fresh coriander but we squeezed a bit of additional lime juice over the top at serving. Will definitely have this again. Thanks!

    I made this last night- Added about a teaspoon of brown sugar- it was very soupey- but loved it! the flavours were awesome. I might try to half the coconut milk and replace with 250g lite sour cream to make it more healthy and perhaps thicker.

    Submitted by choppyk on 23. March 2013 - 21:25.

    This is now one of our favorite dishes. The first time I made it I found it shredded the chicken so this time  put the chicken on the bbq and coated it with garlic olive oil and honey. I then cut into cubes and added as directed but for only half the time as it was already cooked. I also added beans and potato to give it some body. Now very yum  tmrc_emoticons.)

    Submitted by annebarnes on 22. March 2013 - 09:46.

    I agree Kylie, I cut my chicken thighs into quarters never a problem, as long as blades go in reverse, speed soft or 1. I wonder if people forget to reverse their blades. Also the taste is amazing as is, with a litle garlic. I also wonder if people are putting in teaspoons of fish sauce instead of tablespoons! Regards Anne tmrc_emoticons.)

    Loved this dish, had penty of flavour however I did put in two small hot chillies. I also used cooked chicken thighs but they still aborbed the flavour of the sauce. No added sugar or thickening was needed. Served with brown rice and steamed carrots and zucchini. Family loved it.

    Just made this! Used all the advice from above! Yes it was a little bland but just needed a few adjustments ...and now is totally wow. I added 1 large tbls of lemongrass paste,ginger paste and it still was missing something so i added 2 tbls of wok spice paste( goumet garden tube- garlic ginger chilli shallots) then it neded a sweet element so i added 1 tbls of palm sugar and the lime zest! Make sure u test the sauce before u put your chicken in!

My husband has been a very big Thermomix critic after not being so happy about the financial outlay but even he agreed this was an amazing dish. Fantastic flavours and OH so easy! I have NEVER been able to create such authentic flavours in my life, and quicker than something out of a jar! Love it! Thanks Anne!

    Submitted by annebarnes on 16. February 2013 - 10:02.

    When I made this there was no lemon grass left in supermarket, so I used the squeeze tube type. You discard all the tough outside leaves (the green bits) of the lemongrass stalk and only use the soft white interior. This isn't stringy. I didn't thicken mine  because we had it with rice, and leftover sauce added to leftover rice for my lunch the next day with some cooked veg. I already had. tmrc_emoticons.) Anne

    Submitted by Chicky on 15. February 2013 - 19:19.

    Just tried this and found it to be terrible (sorry). My chicken was totally shredded (yes, I had TM in reverse). The flavours had potential but the sauce was generally bland, runny, chicken shredded and dry. My whole family was in agreeance that it was pretty horrible and have begged me never to make it again.

    She obviously needs a Thermomix! The spice paste is far from a chore!
