Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
30 leaves Thai basil, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, diced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
½ tablespoon chile powder
1 (8 ounce) package mushrooms, diced
1 cup sliced bamboo shoots, drained
3 teaspoons red curry paste
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, divided
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter, or more to taste
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and 1/3 of the basil. Saute until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion and cook until transparent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add chicken to the pan with remaining sesame oil and season with chile powder. Add mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Cook until the chicken is only slightly pink in the center and the mushrooms have started to lose their moisture, 4 to 5 minutes. Add curry paste and mix well.
  • Pour in 1/2 of the coconut milk. Stir until vegetables and chicken are evenly coated. Add peanut butter and curry powder and mix thoroughly. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, stirring often to keep the sauce from burning to the bottom of the pan, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add remaining coconut milk and brown sugar. Continue to simmer over low heat until desired consistency is reached, 10 to 15 minutes more, tasting and adding more peanut butter if needed.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. The chicken was tender and the sauce was creamy and rich. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. The sauce was thin and the chicken was dry. I think I would have liked it better if there had been more spices and a thicker sauce.
