Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons peanut oil
¼ cup Thai green curry paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1/4 inch thick) slice ginger, finely grated
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 (15 ounce) can baby corn pieces, drained
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained
2 (13.5 ounce) cans coconut milk
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons palm sugar
6 kaffir lime leaves
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 orange bell pepper, cut into thin strips
¼ cup thinly sliced Thai basil, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wok until it starts to shimmer. Add curry paste, garlic, and ginger; stir together and fry until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken breast slices, stirring until coated. Cook until just slightly pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • While chicken is cooking, place baby corn and bamboo shots in a small saucepan, cover with water, and place over high heat. Bring to a boil. Drain then cover with water again.
  • Pour coconut milk into the wok. Bring to a slow simmer, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain corn and bamboo shoots and add in. Stir in fish sauce, palm sugar, and kaffir lime leaves. Bring back up to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper strips and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove curry from heat and stir in Thai basil.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

225g new potatoes, cut into chunks
100g green beans, trimmed and halved
1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 rounded tbsp or 4 tsp Thai green curry paste (you can't fit the tablespoon into some of the jars)
400ml can coconut milk
2 tsp Thai fish sauce
1 tsp caster sugar
450g boneless skinless chicken (breasts or thighs), cut into bite-size pieces
2 lime leaves finely shredded, or 3 wide strips lime zest, plus extra to garnish
good handful of basil leaves
boiled rice, to serve

Steps:

  • Put 225g new potatoes, cut into chunks, in a pan of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add 100g trimmed and halved green beans and cook for a further 3 minutes, by which time both should be just tender but not too soft. Drain and put to one side.
  • In a wok or large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil until very hot, then drop in 1 chopped garlic clove and cook until golden, this should take only a few seconds. Don't let it go very dark or it will spoil the taste.
  • Spoon in 1 rounded tbsp Thai green curry paste and stir it around for a few seconds to begin to cook the spices and release all the flavours.
  • Next, pour in a 400ml can of coconut milk and let it come to a bubble.
  • Stir in 2 tsp Thai fish sauce and 1 tsp caster sugar, then 450g bite-size chicken pieces. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
  • Tip in the potatoes and beans and let them warm through in the hot coconut milk, then add 2 finely shredded lime leaves (or 3 wide strips lime zest).
  • Add a good handful basil leaves, but only leave them briefly on the heat or they will quickly lose their brightness.
  • Scatter with lime to garnish and serve immediately with boiled rice.

THAI GREEN CURRY ROAST CHICKEN

Try this twist on a traditional Sunday roast chicken with our Thai green curry version, with all the aromatic umami flavours of Asian cuisine

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 whole chicken (about 1.5kg)
2 lemongrass stalks , bashed
2 limes , 1 halved, 1 cut into wedges
2cm piece ginger , skin on and squashed once with the flat part of a knife
2 tbsp Thai green curry paste
1 tsp sunflower oil
1 tsp brown sugar
400g can coconut milk
2 tsp fish sauce
small pack coriander , chopped (optional)
1 red chilli , sliced, to serve
cooked rice and greens, to serve

Steps:

  • Sit the chicken in a flameproof roasting tin or shallow casserole dish and stuff the lemongrass, lime halves and ginger in the cavity. Mix half the curry paste with the oil and use your hands to smear the curry paste all over the chicken and under the skin. Can be prepared up to a day ahead and left to marinate, covered, in the fridge. Take out an hour before roasting.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cover the tin with foil and roast for 40 mins, then remove the foil and roast for another 30 mins until the chicken is cooked through and golden. Lift the chicken, draining the roasting juices back into the tin, and sit on a board or dish that will catch the juices. Use a pair of tongs to remove the lime, lemongrass and ginger from the cavity and place them in the tin with the remaining curry paste and brown sugar.
  • Place the tin back on the heat and sizzle everything together, squashing the lime with the back of a spoon until everything is sticky. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer, stirring well, then add any resting juices and the fish sauce. Simmer again briefly, then sit the chicken back in the tin and scatter with coriander, if using, and the chilli. Bring the chicken to the table and serve with rice and greens with the curry sauce spooned over, and extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY



Thai Green Chicken Curry image

This is from Americas Test Kitchen with my own additions and subractions to suit our tastes. I've tried several recipes trying to find a curry that I like at home as well as what I can get from a restaurant. This one did the trick for me. Hope it works for you. You can adjust the amount of curry paste to the heat level you like. Just remember that as you remove heat you also remove flavor. Just experiment till you find what works for you.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk, do not shake (unsweetened)
2 -4 tablespoons green curry paste
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
salt
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms
1 medium red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained. (I like strips best)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf

Steps:

  • Carefully spoon about 1 cup of the thick cream from one can of coconut milk.
  • Place the coconut cream and curry paste in a large Dutch oven and bring to a simmer over high heat, whisking to blend, about 2 minutes.
  • Maintain this brisk simmer and whisk frequently until almost all of the liquid evaporates, 3-5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high and whisk constantly until the cream separates into a puddle of colored oil and coconut solids, 3-8 minute.(You should hear the curry paste start to fry in the oil).
  • Continue cooking until the curry paste is very aromatic.
  • Whisk in the remaining coconut milk, the fish sauce, and the brown sugar.
  • Bring back to a brisk simmer and cook until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens, about 5 minute.
  • Season chicken with salt and add it to the pot, stirring until the pieces are separated and evenly coated with the sauce.
  • Stir in the mushrooms and the bamboo shoots and bring back to a brisk simmer over medium heat.
  • Cook until chicken is cooked through.
  • Stir in bell pepper and cook until crisp-tender. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice and basil. Serve immediately with rice.
