Method

Start cooking the rice according to the package directions.
Peel and roughly chop the shallots, ginger and lemongrass into large chunks. Add to a saucepan or stock pot.
Add the broth and coconut milk. Simmer over low heat for 20-30 minutes. Scoop out and discard the aromatics; reserve the broth.
Add the soy sauce, brown sugar and lime juice to the broth; whisk to combine, then taste and adjust.
While the broth simmers, toss the chicken with the curry paste, garlic powder, salt and olive oil until well coated. Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, or until it reaches 165°F (74°C) inside (or sauté in a pan until cooked through). Chop into bite-sized pieces.
Plate the rice, then the chicken, and pour the broth over the top. Garnish with herbs and chili crisp or crispy shallots.
