2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon Thai green curry paste
4 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 cups snow peas, stringed
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
Cooked rice

Steps:

  • Add coconut milk, broth and curry paste to skillet. Stir until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons basil, cilantro and 1 teaspoon ginger. Bring to boil.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and ensure that your curry comes together smoothly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh green curry paste, fresh vegetables, and fresh herbs.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken can quickly become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Be sure to cook it until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Add Vegetables in Stages: Add vegetables to the curry in stages, starting with harder vegetables like carrots and potatoes. This will ensure that all of the vegetables are cooked evenly.
  • Use a Good Quality Green Curry Paste: The green curry paste is the key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality paste. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
  • Serve with Rice: Green curry is traditionally served with rice. Jasmine rice is a good choice, as it has a light and fluffy texture that pairs well with the curry.
