Steps:
- Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. As the oil is heating (before it gets to full heat), add curry paste, and 1 cup of the broth, stirring until smooth.

Continue heating and stirring until the curry becomes fragrant and the wok has reached full heat, 1-2 minutes.
- Add chicken and stir fry until just cooked through, about 4 minutes.
- Add green beans, peppercorns, kaffir lime leaves, shallots, palm sugar, fish sauce and stir quickly to combine. Continue cooking for 2 minutes. If mixture becomes dry, add additional broth, ΒΌ cup at a time. (Mixture should be smooth but should thick enough to coat the other ingredients.).
- Add basil and cook just until basil begins to wilt, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

BBQ YELLOW BEAN CHICKEN WITH GRILLED CHINESE LONG BEANS
Steps:
- Put the bean sauce, honey, rice wine, light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon peanut oil, brown sugar, dark soy sauce garlic and ginger into a bowl and stir to combine. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover the bowl, refrigerate and leave to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour and as long as overnight.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat, making sure the grates have been brushed clean and lightly oiled before cooking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade. Reserve the marinade, transfer to a small pan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Divide and thread the chicken onto the 4 bamboo skewers, 5 to 6 pieces of chicken per skewer. Grill the chicken on each side until charred, about 2 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium and place the green beans on the grill alongside the chicken skewers, basting the chicken and beans with the reserved marinade. Continue turning and basting every couple minutes until the outside edges are glazed and sticky and the chicken is cooked through; 10 to 12 minutes total. Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with the chiles.
CHICKEN AND GREEN BEANS IN RED CURRY
I really enjoy Thai food. This recipe is so easy and flavorful. In the Thai dishes I've eaten green beans are usually served very crisp. I generally don't leave mine crisp but in Thai cooking it just seems to work. I use this recipe to use up leftover vegetables too; steamed broccoli is a great addition.
