• 190g jasmine rice

• 350g boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced crosswise, then slices cut lengthwise into thin strips, or 350g medium prawns in shell (31 to 35 per lb), peeled and deveined

Combine stock, water, curry paste, garlic, ginger, coriander seeds, and whole coriander leaves in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan, then simmer, uncovered, until ginger is softened, about 15 minutes. Pour through a paper-towel-lined sieve into a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot and discard solids. Stir rice into soup and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes.

Add chicken or prawns and poach at a bare simmer, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, snow peas, and fish sauce and simmer, uncovered, until peas are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice, salt, and chopped coriander.
