How to Make Thai Lime Chicken Stir-Fry

Thai Lime leaf, also known as 'kaffir lime leaf', is not merely the leaf from a lime tree. Kaffir lime is actually more of a shrub. The limes they produce have very bumpy skin and aren't eaten - only the leaves are edible. Some gourmet-style supermarkets are starting to sell fresh lime leaves in the herbs section. If you can't find them there, look for them at your local Asian food store (either fresh or in the freezer section).

If using frozen lime leaves: briefly rinse them under hot water to quickly thaw them and release their wonderful aroma. Shake off excess water.
