    Title: Curried Frogs' Legs
    Categories: Oriental, Exotics, Herbs, Curry, Chilies
    Yield: 4 Servings

    4 Pairs of jumbo frog's legs;
    - (abt 1 pound), trimmed
    1 Stalk fresh lemon grass
    +=OR=+
    1 tb Dried lemon grass
    2 Fresh red chilies; seeded,
    - sliced
    2 Shallots; sliced
    2 cl Garlic; crushed
    1 1/2 ts Sugar
    1 ts Curry paste
    2 ts Curry powder
    1/4 ts Salt
    2 tb Nuoc mam; (fish sauce)
    2 oz Cellophane (bean thread)
    - noodles
    2 tb Vegetable oil
    1 sm Onion; chopped
    1 c Chicken broth or water
    1/2 c Coconut milk or heavy cream
    1 ts Cornstarch
    Fresh ground black pepper
    Coriander sprigs; garnish

    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
    chilies, 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" 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 corn
    starch 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.
