Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
8 ounces green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup vegetable stock
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
2 Fresno chiles, sliced (leave seeds in for heat if desired)
2 tablespoons prepared red curry paste (or Thai-style chili paste)
2 to 3 kaffir lime leaves, julienned
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/4 cup coconut milk
5 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 scallions, sliced, green and light parts separated
1 handful bean sprouts, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons fish sauce
Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a wok over high heat. When the wok begins to smoke, add 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil. Add the carrots and green beans and stir-fry for 1 minute. Splash in 2 tablespoons stock to facilitate cooking and stir-fry for another minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Wipe the wok dry and return to the heat. When the wok is hot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Add the garlic, ginger and half the chiles and stir-fry for less than 1 minute. Add the curry paste and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the kaffir lime leaves and chicken and stir-fry until the chicken has browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk and stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup stock, the shiitake mushrooms, scallion light parts, bean sprouts and fish sauce and cook until the chicken has cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the green beans and carrots back in and season with salt and white pepper. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with the remaining chilies, some bean sprouts, the scallion greens and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Prepare all your ingredients and sauces before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry is cooked evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of space to stir-fry your ingredients without overcrowding them.
  • Heat your pan or wok over high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook your ingredients in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Stir-fry constantly: This will help to prevent the ingredients from sticking and burning.
  • Add the sauce at the end: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will also allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked.
