Best 3 Bangkok Chicken Curry Recipes

THAI RED CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick pan. Add the light scallions, garlic, and jalapeño and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not brown.
• Add the coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and brown sugar and whisk together. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, a few minutes. Add the chicken and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally to promote even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. (Do not let the sauce boil; the idea is to cook the chicken gently so that it's tender.) Stir in the lime juice, dark scallion greens, and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime, if necessary. Serve with jasmine rice.
• Note: As always, take care when working with jalapeño peppers. If you touch the seeds or ribs, be sure to wash your hands well and avoid touching your eyes.
• Note: It's important to wait until you're ready to eat to cook the chicken. If you want to get a head start, prepare the sauce up until the point when the chicken is added. Take it off the heat and then poach the chicken right before serving. If the chicken sits in the hot curry sauce for too long before serving, it will overcook.

THAI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until garlic begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, curry paste, ginger, fish sauce, chile paste, and coriander; stir until evenly coated and well mixed.
• Stir coconut milk and 1/2 cup water into the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in chicken, zucchini, and bell pepper. Continue to simmer, covered, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes more.
• Dissolve cornstarch in remaining 1/2 cup water in a small bowl; stir into the simmering mixture. Uncover, raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro and lime juice just prior to serving.

BANGKOK CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil (about 4 quarts). Add rice and boil for 40 minutes, or until rice is tender, then drain.
• 2. While rice is boiling, begin cleaning and prepping the vegetables and other ingredients. When cooking with a wok, it's important to have everything right next to the wok and ready to go because of the high cooking temps. You'll need to be prepared to be stirring constantly.
• 3. When rice has been drained and plated, heat the wok on high until it starts to smoke slightly. Then add oil and dried chilis. Next add chicken and cook stirring constantly until it's cooked on the outside. Add curry paste and stir, allowing the curry paste melt in the hot wok. After it's been mixed thoroughly with the chicken- add garlic, sriracha, and fish sauce. Continue stirring constantly and add bell peppers; cook for 1 minute then add onion and cook until fork tender, but still slightly crisp. Stir in bamboo shoots, salt and pepper. Stir in coconut milk and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, add fresh basil and serve over cooked brown rice.
