Roughly portion the pheasant into legs and breast – you can ask your butcher to do this if you like.
Take half of the galanga, the red and green chillies, lemon grass and ginger and add them to the stock. Bring to the boil and turn down to simmer.
Add the pheasant to the stock and allow to poach. After 15 minutes remove the breast and place in a covered bowl. After 20 minutes take out the legs.
Allow the stock to continue simmering while you remove the skin from both the legs and breast, then thinly slice the breast and flake up the meat on the legs.
5. Strain the stock and add the rest of the ingredients to the liquid, allowing it to come to the simmer and tenderize the vegetables. Add pheasant just before serving and season to taste.
