This one is pretty quick to make and very tasty. Enjoy:

4 chicken breasts sliced into thin pieces
2 tbls ginger shredded or cut into think matchsticks
6 cloves of garlic diced fine
4 tbls fish sauce
1 liter chicken stock
1 liter of water
2 tbls lemon grass paste (or equivalent in stalks)
juice from 3 limes
10 kaffir lime leaves
2 serrano peppers sliced into 1/8" thick rings
1 lite can coconut milk
8 oz sliced white mushrooms
1 pint grape tomatoes halved
1 pk green onions sliced small

heat large pot on med-high heat
add some oil to saute chicken
add chicken, garlic, ginger and fish sauce
saute for 2-3 mins until chicken is mostly cooked
add chicken stock and water and heat to boiling
reduce heat and let simmer
add lemon grass, lime leaves, lime juice, coconut milk and peppers
simmer for 5 minutes
add veggies and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, until desired tenderness
ladle some up and enjoy

lots of variations can be made to the recipe and is certainly up to discussion.
