Ingredients Needed:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
- 1 small onion
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 (13.6-ounce/403ml) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 6 ounces green beans
- 1 red bell pepper
- ½ cup Thai basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Cilantro
How To Make Thai Red Curry Recipe?
- Cook the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics: Lower the heat to medium-high. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
- Add curry paste and sauce: Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Avoid boiling the coconut milk.
- Simmer with vegetables and chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet and add the green beans and bell pepper. Simmer for about 8 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
- Finish the curry: Remove from heat, stir in Thai basil leaves and lime juice, and serve hot over rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or additional basil leaves.
Recipe Tips:
- Use full-fat coconut milk: It gives the sauce its creamy texture. Avoid light coconut milk, as it won’t provide the same richness.
- Don’t boil the coconut milk: Keep the heat low and let it simmer. Boiling can curdle the milk and make the sauce grainy.
- Keep vegetables slightly crunchy: Avoid overcooking the green beans and bell pepper for a perfect bite.
- Adjust seasoning to taste: Depending on your curry paste, you may need to add more salt, sugar, or lime juice for balance.
- Prep ingredients beforehand: This recipe cooks quickly, so have everything chopped and ready to go.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Allow the curry to cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water or coconut milk if needed to loosen the sauce.
