Cooking Tom Yum Gai

1. (Thai chicken in Lemoni Grass Soup) This is from Charmaine Solomon's newest publication: THAI COOKBOOK.
2. TO MAKE PEPPER AND CORIANDER PASTE: This is a basic Thai flavoring and will make about one cup which you can store in your fridge.
3. You will use about one teaspoon of it in the Tom Yum Gai. In a dry skillet, dry roast about one Tbs whole black peppercorns for a minute or two.
4. In your blender whizz up the peppercorns together.
