In a stock pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped ginger, garlic, and hot pepper; sauté for 1 minute. Add the cumin and coriander powder and the curry paste; sauté for another minute over medium heat.
Add the tomato and cook until it is softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the stock and coconut milk. Add the crushed lemon grass stalk. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook an additional 5 minutes.
Season the broth with lemon juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, and soy sauce (or tamari). Add the chili flakes, chicken, and snow peas; simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust any seasonings and serve topped with sriracha and green onions.
