Recipe type: Stir fry
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into thin pieces
  • 1 lb. green beans (or Chinese long beans), cut into 1-inch long.
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into long strips
  • 3 tablespoons Thai Red Curry Paste
  • 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or Canola oil
  • 3 kaffir lime leaves, julienned
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add green beans and cook about 5 minutes or until bright green in color and crisp-tender. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and to keep the beans that pretty green color. Drain.
  2. Heat up the oil in a wok, cast iron or a large pan, low heat. Add Thai Red Curry paste. Stir and let it sizzle for about 20 - 30 seconds, and it should really be fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken, turn up the heat to medium-high, and start stir frying constantly, mix the chicken with the curry paste.
  4. When the chicken is fully cooked, add the beans and red pepper. Stir quickly until everything is mixed together. If it is too dry, add a little bit of water into the pan.
  5. Add Fish Sauce and sugar. Mix everything together. Taste to see if it needs more seasoning, it should taste salty, sweet, and spicy. Add some of the kaffir lime leaves, save some to garnish later. Stir a few times.
  6. Turn off the heat, serve hot with some Jasmin rice or quinoa. Garnish with the rest of the kaffir lime leaves. Enjoy!
Notes
You can use other kind of meat like pork or beef instead of chicken.
