Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cups chicken stock or broth
1 (14- to 15-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 chicken leg (10 to 12 ounce), cut into drumstick and thigh and skin discarded
1 stalk fresh lemongrass, 1 or 2 tough outer leaves discarded and root end trimmed
1 (2- by 1 1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1 small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) dried chile (preferably Thai), halved lengthwise and seeds discarded

Steps:

  • Bring stock, coconut milk, and chicken to a boil in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes.
  • Crush lemongrass stalk with side of a heavy knife (to release oils), then thinly slice. Add lemongrass, ginger, and chile to coconut mixture and bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, 30 minutes.
  • Pour sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids, then return to pan and bring to a boil. Season with salt. Blend sauce in a blender until frothy, about 30 seconds (use caution when blending hot liquids). Serve immediately.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but this sauce was surprisingly good. It was creamy and flavorful, and it didn't have that strong coconut taste that I usually don't like.

I made this sauce for my Thai curry dish and it was perfect! The coconut milk gave it a creamy texture and the lime juice added a nice tang.

This sauce was a total disaster. It was too runny and didn't have any flavor.

I've tried many coconut sauce recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so creamy and flavorful, and it goes perfectly with chicken, fish, or shrimp.
