Steps

   In a saucepan, mix together broth, lemongrass, ginger, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, lower the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid, and let it cook for about 10 minutes until it becomes aromatic.

3. 3

   Pass the broth mixture through a fine sieve to remove any solids, then transfer it back to the saucepan. Introduce the chicken and snow peas into the broth and let them simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and the snow peas reach a crisp-tender texture, which should take about 2 to 4 minutes.
