- 2 tsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch

- Pour aromatics and pan drippings through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a medium bowl, pressing on solids. Discard solids.Skim off and discard fat from drippings (there should be about 1 cup drippings remaining; top up with chicken stock, if needed).
- Transfer drippings to a blender; add coconut milk, butter, lemongrass, and brown sugar. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Set aside 2 tablespoons coconut milk mixture. Pour remaining coconut milk mixture into a small saucepan. Stir together cornstarch and reserved 2 tablespoons coconut mixture.
