Let’s Get Cooking: Thai Chicken Curry for the Home Chef
This recipe yields 4 generous servings, perfect for a cosy weeknight dinner or a casual gathering with friends.
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cubed)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to your spice preference)
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
½ cup sliced sugar snap peas (optional)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar (packed)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Cooked rice (for serving)
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Heat Up the Wok: Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a large wok or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Brown the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
- All about the Curry Magic: Introduce the red curry paste and stir it into the pan, allowing it to cook for about a minute to release its fragrant aromas.
- Coconut Creaminess: Next, pour in the full-fat coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.
- Vegetable Symphony: Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, broccoli florets, and sugar snap peas (if using). Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Flavor Symphony: Now comes the fun part – creating the perfect flavour profile. Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and grated ginger. Taste the curry and adjust the seasonings as needed. Remember, you can add more fish sauce for a saltier taste, brown sugar for sweetness, or a squeeze of extra lime juice for a touch of acidity.
- The Finishing Touch: Finally, sprinkle the minced garlic into the simmering curry and cook for another minute. The raw garlic adds a wonderful depth of flavour.
- Plating Up: Turn off the heat and garnish your Authentic Chinese Thai chicken Curry with a generous sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro. Serve it over a bed of fluffy cooked rice, and prepare to be transported to the heart of Thailand with every delicious bite.
Tips and Tricks for the Home Chef:
- Spice it Up (or Down): Red curry paste comes in varying levels of spiciness. If you’re a spice novice, start with a milder paste and gradually increase the heat in future attempts. You can also add a touch of sriracha or chilli flakes to further customise the spice level.
- Protein Power: Feel free to experiment with different proteins. Shrimp, tofu, or even chickpeas are excellent alternatives to chicken in this recipe.
- Vegetable Variations: Don’t be afraid to get creative with the vegetables! Mushrooms, zucchini, baby corn, or green beans would all be delicious additions to this curry
