02Steps
  1. Heat cooking oil in a large pot or wok over medium heat. Add minced shallots and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add minced dried shrimp, bruised lemongrass, and sliced galangal. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the aromatics are well-combined and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the satay sauce, creamy peanut butter, and chili oil (if using). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to develop the flavours.
  5. Stir in the coconut milk, light soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broth is creamy and well-seasoned. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve hot as a hotpot broth base with your favourite hotpot ingredients.
