1/2 lb Boneless chicken breast 1/2 c Coconut milk
-OR- 1/2 ts Salt

Thinly cut chicken into 2-inch strips. (If doing veggie version, cut
vegetables into thin strips.) Grind together red chili peppers, lemon
grass, and kaffir lime leaves in a food processor or pound in a mortar.
Heat oil to medium-high and saute pepper mixture for 3 minutes. Stir in
coconut milk and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken (or vegetables) and
cook for 5 minutes or until cooked (same time for veggies). Reduce heat
to medium-low. Stir in fish sauce (if using), salt, and basil. Serve

Note:
=====
For mixed vegetables, choose from among bell peppers, string beans,
water chestnuts, tomatoes (small cherry tomatoes are best), bamboo
shoots, miniature corn, asparagus, cucumbers, zucchini, Japanese
eggplant, and mushrooms. I particularly like string beans or asparagus,
a few cherry tomatoes, shredded (rather than sliced) bamboo shoots,
miniature corn, and some straw mushrooms or slender (Japanese) eggplant.
