Thinly cut chicken into 2" strips. If doing veggie version, cut
veggies into thin strips. Grind together red chili peppers, lemon
grass, and kaffir lime leaves. Heat oil and saute pepper mixture
for three minutes. Stir in coconut milk and cook for two minutes.
Add chichen (or vegetables) and cook for five minutes of until

Serve on bed of chopped cabbage.
Note: For mixed vegetables, choose from amoung bell peppers, string
beans, water chestnuts, tomatoes (small cherry tomatoes are best),
bamboo shoots, nimiature 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.
