Spicy Chicken Green Curry


Approximate time required: 15-25min
Serving: 5-7

What you'll need:

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion or 2 shallot (sliced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 medium piece ginger (sliced)
2 Tbsp green curry paste (I use the canned ones, fast & inexpensive)

1.5 lb chicken breast (sliced)(optionally beef/pork/duck/shrimp/tofu)
1 cup egg plant or zucchini (sliced)
1 cup bamboo shoot (sliced)
1 cup mushroom

1 cup coconut milk
1 red or green bell pepper (sliced)
3 Tbsp oyster sauce
2 lime leaves (optional)
1 tsp fresh lime juice
2 branch basil leaves (to garnish/optional)

In a wok or pot, heat oil in high heat. Add garlic, onion, ginger, green curry paste, chicken, and sautee till chicken is browned on all sides. About 3-5 min. Add egg plant/zucchini, bamboo, mushroom, oster sauce, stir and simmer for about 5 min.

Add coconut milk, bell pepper, lime leaves, and lower heat to medium once coconut milk is hot, stir and simmer for another 5 min. Turn the heat off, garish with lime juice, and basil leaves, stir, and serve in a plater. Enjoy with rice!
