Simple Red Thai Curry

Simple Red Thai Curry

Simple red thai curry that was to die for. I did my own veggies, added chicken, but, would do again. This is a meal I could eat once a week. This recipe is inspired from Cookie + Kate's recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 Chicken Breast
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion (chopped fine)
  • Sprinkle of salt
  • 1 thumb sized knob of fresh ginger, chopped finely
  • 2 large garlic cloves, chopped finely
  • 2 tbsp red thai curry paste (I like Mae Ploy)
  • 1 can coconut cream (or milk)
  • beans, carrot, cauliflower.. Whatever veggies really
  • 1 pinch of brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 fresh lime
  • basil and cilantro to garnish

Method

  • Cube chicken breast, cook a bit for a few minutes (mine came up to 74c, so was safe to eat here)
  • Remove chicken, put any juices aside
  • Heat oil, put pan in medium hot, in goes the onion and sprinkle of salt. Cook for 5 minutes or until soft
  • add ginger and garlic, stir continually for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add curry paste, cook and stir for two minutes. Everything should turn into a mushy texture
  • Add coconut milk, chicken juices (or a touch of water). Stir to combine.
  • Add veggies, bring to a boil, cover, then down to a simmer
  • Leave cooking for 15 minutes or until veggies soft to your liking
  • add soy sauce, and juice of lime (save two slices for garnish)
  • Add some basil and cilantro in, cause why not.
  • Plate over rice, garnish with basil and cilantro.
