Thai Green Curry with chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (canola oil)
  • 3 chicken breasts cut into small strips
  • salt and pepper for cooking chicken

  • 2 medium onions sliced into thin long strips
  • 3 large carrots cut into planks
  • 1 bell pepper (any color)

  • 3/4 bag of prepared green beans
  • 2 cans of bamboo shoots
  • ginger julienned (100-150g)

  • 4 cans of coconut milk
  • 150g of curry paste
  • 1/3 cup cane sugar

  • 4 handfuls of snow peas

  • 42g (about 3 handfuls) of fresh basil (the more the better)

Instructions

  1. In a large wok, add 1 Tbsp oil and cook the sliced chicken. Then set aside in a separate bowl.
  2. In the large wok, add 1 Tbsp oil, onions, carrots, peppers. Cook on high heat until onions look soft (about 5-10 mins).
  3. In the large wok, add in the green beans, bamboo shoot and ginger. Cook on high heat until the carrots start to get soft. Make sure ginger does not get burnt.
  4. Turn off heat, and transfer everything from the large wok into a large pot.
  5. To the large pot, add cooked chicken, coconut milk and curry paste. Stir vigorously to dissolve the curry paste (so no clumps of curry paste).
  6. Then let simmer/boil for about 5-10 mins on high heat to let green beans cook. Then add sugar and stir.
  7. Add snow peas. Cook snow peas on high heat until most have expanded and look bloated (about 2-5 mins)
  8. Then turn off heat.
  9. Add basil. Then ready to serve with rice.
