Begin by slicing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Peel and slice the shallots and garlic thinly. Crush the lemongrass to release its aroma and set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautΓ©ing until fragrant and the shallots become translucent.
Add the minced galangal, crushed lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves to the pot. Stir for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Next, add the turmeric powder and chili paste, stirring well to coat the aromatics.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced chicken. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
Prepare the vegetables: peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, trim the green beans, and roughly chop the cabbage.
Add the carrots and green beans to the pot, cooking for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Finally, add the cabbage, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with a few extra slices of kaffir lime leaves for added fragrance.
