| Ingredients: 1/3 Cup(s) *** (or 1 whole) chicken breast 3/4 Cup(s) coconut milk, thick 1 Tablespoon(s) or 2 TB Thai panaeng curry paste 1 Tablespoon(s) fish sauce 1 Tablespoon(s) (brown, white, or) palm sugar 1 stemmed kaffir lime leaf 1/4 thinly sliced (garnish) bell pepper 10 holy basil leaves |
Directions:
*** can use medium sliced beef, pork, tofu, or pumpkin 1. Mix curry paste, sugar, and fish sauce together, and set aside. (I use half the sugar, maple syrup actually) 2. Cook the curry paste: Place 1/3 of the thick coconut milk into saucepan and heat over medium until coconut oil starts to separate. (Quick version: fry soy oil and paste until becomes aromatic... but not sure when/how coconut milk comes in.) 3. Add curry paste, fish sauce, and sugar, and continue stirring until curry paste is cooked -- about 1 minute. 4. (If cooking chicken, turn heat to med.) Add chicken, and when it turns white, add remaining 1/2 cup thick coconut milk and kaffir lime leaf. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until chicken is thoroughly cooked. 5. Stir in sweet basil leaves. 6. Remove from heat and serve garnished with shredded kaffir lime leaf, basil, and large red bell pepper. |
