Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast sliced thinly or Tofu for a vegetarian option
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper sliced
  • 1 Yellow Onion sliced
  • 3 tablespoons Thai Green Curry Paste
  • 1 can 13.5 oz Coconut Milk
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth or Vegetable Broth for vegetarian
  • 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce or Soy Sauce for vegetarian
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • Fresh Basil Leaves for garnish

Instructions

Instructions:

  • 1. Cook the Chicken
  • Heat Vegetable Oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced Chicken Breast and cook until it’s lightly browned on both sides. For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with firm Tofu cubes and cook them until golden. Remove and set aside.
  • 2. SautĂ© the Veggies
  • In the same pot, add sliced Red Bell Pepper and Yellow Onion. Cook them for about 2 minutes until they’re slightly soft. This step builds up the base flavors for your curry.
  • 3. Make the Curry Sauce
  • Stir in the Thai Green Curry Paste and cook it with the veggies for 1 minute. Then, pour in the Coconut Milk and Chicken Broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • 4. Combine & Simmer
  • Return the Chicken (or Tofu) to the pot. Add Fish Sauce and Sugar to balance the flavors. Let the curry simmer for about 10 minutes until everything is tender and the sauce thickens.
  • 5. Finish with Freshness
  • Once done, turn off the heat and sprinkle some fresh Basil Leaves over the curry. This final touch adds a burst of color and extra fragrance!
