ADRIEL'S CHINESE CURRY CHICKEN



Adriel's Chinese Curry Chicken image

My husband is Chinese and this is one of our favorite dishes. My late father-in-law, who used to be a Chinese chef, said my version of this was better than his! Yellow curry paste can be found at an Asian market. You may have to add a little more or less curry paste, depending on your taste. I included a more moderate amount in this recipe. I suggest serving this over cooked jasmine rice. It has a little bit of heat, so probably do not serve to small children. Enjoy!

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon yellow curry paste
½ cup chicken broth, divided
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 ½ teaspoons light soy sauce
1 (5.6 ounce) can coconut milk
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 onion, sliced
2 potatoes - peeled, halved, and sliced

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mash the yellow curry paste with about 2 tablespoons of chicken broth to help dissolve the paste; whisk in remaining chicken broth, sugar, curry powder, salt, light soy sauce, and coconut milk. Set aside.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat for about 30 seconds; pour in the oil. Let the oil heat until shimmering, about 30 more seconds. Stir the chicken, garlic, and ginger into the hot oil; cook and stir until the chicken has begun to brown and the garlic and ginger are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion and potatoes, toss all ingredients in the hot oil, and pour in the sauce mixture. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat, and cover the wok. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

LILY KWOK'S CHINESE CHICKEN CURRY



Lily Kwok's Chinese Chicken Curry image

I saw this on The People's Cookbook and just had to try it. It was submitted by Lily's grand-daughter Helen, who told the story of how Lily left Hong Kong, bound for England on a three month sea voyage. At every port Lily would collect spices and experiment with them. When she arrived in England, she perfected this curry and made it for friends and neighbours, later opening a restaurant based on this dishes popularity.Lily is still alive and still cooking curry for friends and neighbours. This dish beat the opposition and won it's way into The Peoples Cookbook. It's a great curry with big, bold flavours, worth every bit of effort that goes into it. Just remember Lily when you eat it.

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 tablespoons vegetable oil or 6 tablespoons ghee
3 onions, finely chopped
4 cm piece gingerroot, peeled and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, sliced
4 mild fleshy red chilies, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
125 ml water
2 1/2 teaspoons plain flour
2 1/2 teaspoons self raising flour
400 -500 ml chicken stock
3 -4 tablespoons cornflour
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, and cut into strips
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons peas

Steps:

  • SAUCE:.
  • Heat the oil or ghee in a heavy based pan or wok over high heat. Add the onion and stir fry for 3 minutes, or until starting to soften, but not brown.
  • Add the ginger, garlic and chillies and continue stir-frying for 30 seconds and then reduce heat to very low and leave to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is completely soft, but nothing browns.
  • Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, chili and curry powders and continue cooking very gently for 5 minutes. Don't burn the spices or they will taste acrid; sprinkle on a few drops of water if you're worried. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool a little.
  • Put the water into a food processor or blender, then add contents of the pan. Blend until everything is very smooth, then add both flours and blend again. Put the pureed mixture back into the pan and simmer for 20-30 minutes (longer the better) over a very low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a little hot water if it starts to catch, but the idea is to gently fry the sauce so that it darkens in colour to an orangey brown. Once you have a thick paste, gradually stir in the stock and simmer until the sauce has reduced.
  • CHICKEN:.
  • Season the cornflour and toss the chicken strips in this to coat them. Heat the oil in a large fry pan over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until they turn white. Add the onion and the peas and stir-fry a few minutes more. Then stir in the curry sauce and heat until everything is hot.

MALAYSIAN CHINESE CHICKEN AND POTATO CURRY



Malaysian Chinese Chicken and Potato Curry image

Traditional Hokkien recipe, originally posted by Happyhomemaker88 here: http://happyhomemaker88.com/2008/01/06/my-mother-in-laws-yummy-chicken-potato-curry/ She calls for two ingredients I don't have access to, so I just left them out: 5 candlenuts and 1 bunch curry leaves.

Provided by Kate S.

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 whole chicken legs
2 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons curry powder
5 tablespoons curry powder
5 garlic cloves
1 inch ginger
3 fresh red chilies
3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
oil, for deep-frying
1/2 cup oil
15 chopped shallots
2 large onions, peeled and cut into chunks
2 stalks lemongrass, smashed a bit to release aromatic oils
4 cups coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Marinate chicken legs in 2 T salt and 3 T curry powder.
  • Mash 5 T curry powder, ginger, garlic, and chilies into a chili paste. (Include 5 candlenuts if you can get them.).
  • Peel and chop potato, and deep fry in some oil until half cooked.
  • Heat an empty wok until smoking, add 1/2 cup of oil and fry shallots until golden and aromatic.
  • Add curry paste and stir to prevent burning until the oil separates from the paste and it is very aromatic, about 5 minutes or so. This gives the curry a rich, bright orange color when cooked.
  • Add the marinated chicken pieces and stir-fry until it is half cooked - this is to seal in the chicken juices and make the chicken fragrant and tasty.
  • Next, add the potatoes, onions, and lemon grass. Add a bunch of curry leaves as well if you can get them. Stir for two minutes.
  • Pour in 3 3/4 c coconut milk. Make sure that the coconut milk is enough to just cover the chicken and potatoes.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and simmer the curry for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes soft. Remember to stir the curry often to prevent burning. Add a little water if the curry appears to be drying up.
  • When the curry is ready, season with salt and pour in the last 1/4 cup of thick coconut milk. The coconut loses flavor while boiling, so adding some at the last minute enhances the flavor.
  • Serve with bread or rice.
