Ingredients

  • 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoon storebought Thai green curry paste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup chicken broth, (or hot water + 1/2 maggi bouillon cube)
  • 1 can coconut milk 400 g
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 4-6 kaffir lime leaves, torn or 3 wide strips lime peel
  • 400 g chicken breast, bite sized slices
  • 1.5 cups snow peas
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1/2 lemon or lime, juiced

Instructions

  • Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add curry paste, garlic, and ginger, and stir while cooking for 1-2 minutes until curry paste dries out and is fragrant.
  • Add chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to dissolve the green curry paste into them.
  • Add the fish sauce, sugar, and lime leaves and stir to combine and allow to come to a simmer.
  • Add chicken, and reduce heat to medium or until bubbling gently. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until chicken flakes apart when you test it with a fork.
  • Add the snow peas and red bell pepper and cook for a further 3 minutes. Stir in lime or lemon juice. The curry won't be very thick, and that's the way it should be!
  • Serve with jasmine, basmati, or cauliflower rice.
