Whip up a delicious Thai green chicken curry in 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
  • 4 single (about 180g) chicken breast fillets, trimmed
  • 9.20 gm vegetable oil
  • 2 lemon grass stems, pale section only
  • 56.00 gm purchased green curry paste (Song Gai brand)
  • 1 large garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 x 400ml can light coconut milk (A Taste of Thai brand)
  • 24.40 gm fish sauce
  • 70g (1/2 cup) frozen peas
  • 2 baby bok choy, leaves separated and halved lengthways, washed, drained
  • 125.00 ml (firmly packed) large fresh basil leaves, washed, drained
  • Cooked jasmine rice, to serve
Instructions:
  • Slice the chicken into 2cm thick slices, cutting across the grain for tenderness. Heat half of the oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook half of the chicken, turning occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until sealed and browned but not fully cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken, achieving a perfect seal and golden color. Remove from the wok and set aside for later.
  • Cut the lemongrass into 3cm lengths and tenderize by striking all over with the back of a knife on a chopping board. Add lemongrass, curry paste, and garlic to the wok. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in the velvety coconut milk and savory fish sauce, then bring to a lively boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, for 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken back to the wok and let it simmer for 3 minutes without covering.
  • Toss in the peas and bok choy, then cover and cook for 3 more minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the bok choy stems are tender-crisp.
  • Add the fresh basil leaves and cook briefly until they are just wilted. Serve right away with the jasmine rice.
