2 large garlic cloves (, minced)
2 tsp fresh ginger (, finely grated )
1 tbsp lemongrass paste (or finely chopped fresh (Note 3))
3 tbsp vegetable oil ((or canola or peanut))
1 cup (250 ml) chicken broth/stock (, low sodium)
400 ml / 14 oz coconut milk ((full fat!))
6 kaffir lime leaves ((Note 4))
1 tbsp sugar ((white, brown or palm))
2 tsp fish sauce (, plus more to taste)
350g / 12 oz chicken thighs ((boneless and skinless), cut into 0.75 / 1/3" thick slices (Note 5))
150g / 5 oz pumpkin or butternut squash, ( cut into 1.5cm / 3/5" cubes (~1 heaped cup))
120g / 4oz green beans (, trimmed and cut into 5cm/2" pieces)
12 Thai basil leaves ((Note 6))

Fresh coriander / cilantro leaves
Steamed jasmine rice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large heavy based skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add curry paste and Extras (if using jar paste) and cook for about 2 minutes so it "dries out" (See video)
  • Add chicken broth and stir to dissolve paste. Simmer rapidly for 3 minutes or until liquid reduces by half.
  • Add coconut milk, lime leaves, sugar and fish sauce. Stir, then add chicken.
  • Spread chicken out, bring to simmer, then turn heat down to medium. Simmer for about 8- 10 minutes or until Sauce reduces, the chicken is cooked and the sauce is almost at the thickness you want.
  • Do a taste test. Add more fish sauce (or even shrimp paste) to add more saltiness, sugar for sweetness.
  • Add pumpkin and beans, stir. Cook for 3 minutes or until pumpkin is just cooked through and Sauce is thickened - see video for Sauce thickness.
  • Remove from heat. Stir through a handful of Thai basil leaves.

GRILLED THAI RED CURRY CHICKEN



Grilled Thai Red Curry Chicken image

I LOVE Thai Curry, but I didn't like the idea of simmering chicken in coconut milk for an hour and serving it all together...too many calories! This way you marinate to get the flavor and then cook the sauce separately to serve on the side (or not have any at all) Topping with lime slices and basil, also infuses extra flavor without adding calories. This isn't really a low-cal dish, just a LOWER calorie dish than the original. If you cannot find red curry paste look for asian chili paste and add equal amounts of that and powdered curry...it's not quite the same, but it'll do. (prep time does not include time to marinate)

RED THAI CURRY CHICKEN STIR-FRY



Red Thai Curry Chicken Stir-Fry image

Not your typical soupy Thai curry. I "ad-libbed" this, just adding some red Thai curry paste to an otherwise typical stir-fry. It was hot, spicy and, for us, very yummy. I always use Mae Ploy brand curry paste - I find it the most authentic and flavoursome.

Provided by Tracy Lee

Categories     Curries

Time 27m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil (less if using non-stick pan)
450 g chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces
2 bell peppers (any colour, sliced)
1 small red onion, chopped
1 red chili pepper, chopped
1 medium carrot, julienned
1/4 cup water
25 g Thai red curry paste
2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce (nahm plah)

Steps:

  • Heat your pan or pot, and spray lightly with olive oil.
  • Remove excess fat and skin from chicken (don't be overly diligent - a little fat is useful in the cooking!) and cut into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  • Add chopped onion and hot chili pepper to the pre-heated pan; cook on high heat until onion is slightly soft (1 to 2 minutes).
  • Add carrot, cut into thick Julienne strips.
  • Add the curry paste, and stir-fry well.
  • Add water to help dissolve and mix the curry paste. The heat from the pan will evaporate the water quickly, but it still loosens up the paste.
  • Add the chicken and bell peppers (cut lengthwise).
  • Stir frequently; make sure all the paste is dissolved. The oil from the chicken should help this, too.
  • Add Thai fish sauce.
  • When the meat is thoroughly cooked, remove from heat.
  • Serve on a bed of Jasmin or Basmati rice, or other rice of your choice.

Tips:

  • Use the right curry paste. Red curry paste is a key ingredient in this chili, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a paste that is made with fresh, flavorful ingredients and has a good balance of heat and spice.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat. This chili can be made as mild or spicy as you like. If you like your chili hot, add more red curry paste or a chopped jalapeño pepper. If you prefer a milder chili, reduce the amount of red curry paste or omit the jalapeño pepper.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This chili is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Add whatever vegetables you have on hand, such as carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. This chili is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of lime.
