  1. Chop the ends off of the lemongrass, and peel the outer layers. Smash the stalks and using only the bottom 1/3 of the stalk, cut strips.
  2. Add oil to a large saucepan or stock pot and add the lemongrass, onion, garlic, ginger, corn, and peppers. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken and cook just until browned, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add the fish sauce, curry powder, chicken stock, lime juice, and coconut milk. Cover the pot and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 25 to 40 minutes.
  6. When ready to serve, remove the harder pieces of lemongrass.
  7. Serve with chopped cilantro
