Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

4 Pairs of jumbo frog's legs 2 tb Nuoc nam
-(about 1 pound), trimmed -(Vietnamese fish sauce)
1 Stalk fresh lemon grass, 2 oz Cellophane (bean thread)
-or 1 tablespoon dried -noodles
-lemon grass 2 tb Vegetable oil
2 Fresh red chile peppers, 1 Small onion, chopped
-seeded and sliced 1 c Chicken broth or water
2 Shallots, sliced 1/2 c Coconut milk or heavy cream
2 Garlic cloves, crushed 1 ts Cornstarch
1 1/2 ts Sugar Freshly ground black pepper
1 ts Curry paste Coriander sprigs,
2 ts Curry powder -for garnish
1/4 ts Salt

This delicious lemon grass and coconut-laced curry comes from southern
Vietnam. If you prefer a very hot curry, simply use more chile peppers.

Cut the frogs' legs into bite-size pieces. Rinse with cold water to
remove any chipped bones. Pat dry and refrigerate.

If you are using fresh lemon grass, discard the outer leaves and upper
half of the stalk. Cut into thin slices and finely chop. If you are using
dried lemon grass, soak it in warm water for 1 hour. Drain and finely chop.

In a blender, combine the lemon grass with the chiles, shallots,
garlic, sugar, curry paste, curry powder, salt and 1 tablespoon of the fish
sauce. Process to a very fine paste. Rub the paste over the frogs' legs.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, soak the cellophane noodles in warm water for 30 minutes.
Drain. Cut into 2-inch sections.

Heat the oil in a saucepan over moderate heat. Add the onion and saute
until translucent. Add the frogs' legs and brown well on all sides, about 3
minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover
and simmer for 15 minutes.

Uncover the pan and add the coconut milk, the cornstarch diluted in 1
tablespoon of cold water and the remaining 1 table- spoon fish sauce. Cook,
stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.

Add the cellophane noodles and bring the mixture to a boil.
Remove from the heat.

Sprinkle with black pepper and garnish with coriander sprigs.

Serve immediately with rice, French bread or over rice noodles.

Note: Instead of discarding the upper half of the lemon grass, crush it
and cook it with the frogs' legs for extra flavor. Remove the stalk before
serving.
