    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the chopped lemongrass, sliced galangal root, torn kaffir lime leaves, and sliced onion to the pot. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  3. 3

    Cook the Protein
