Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry image

This is a quick, easy, and authentic Thai curry dish that's sweet and very spicy. I became addicted to the dish at a local restaurant and then worked to duplicate it at home. I think I've got the taste and presentation pegged. I'm guesstimating on the amounts since I don't measure much when I cook. Feel free to adjust to taste.

PAD KRAPOW GAI (THAI BASIL CHICKEN)



Pad Krapow Gai (Thai Basil Chicken) image

As dynamic as it is speedy, this ground chicken and green bean recipe from "Night + Market" (Clarkson Potter, 2017) by Kris Yenbamroong and Garrett Snyder, delivers a wallop of flavor with punchy ingredients that stir-fry in just 15 minutes. While this popular Thai street food can be whipped up using a range of proteins, Mr. Yenbamroong refers to his riff as "low-rent" because it's prepared with ground chicken rather than pricier slices of meat. It's piled with basil; Thai basil or holy basil provide more assertive licorice notes, but sweet basil adds herbal bursts of brightness. Spiked with Thai seasoning (see Tip), the chicken mixture is salty on its own, but it's inextricably linked with rice, and imparts the right amount of salinity when dispersed.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground chicken (preferably dark meat)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (from 2 cloves)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh bird's-eye chile or other fresh chile (from 1 chile)
8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon Thai seasoning sauce (such as Golden Mountain; see Tip)
1 cup loosely packed basil leaves (preferably Thai basil or holy basil)
Ground white pepper, to taste
Steamed jasmine rice, for serving
4 crispy fried eggs (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high, then swirl in the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground chicken and cook, actively breaking the chicken up into small pieces, until it is mostly cooked, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic, sugar and chile until evenly distributed and fragrant, about 2 minutes, then add the green beans, oyster sauce, fish sauce and Thai seasoning, and cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is fully cooked, the green beans are crisp-tender and the krapow is glossy, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, add the basil and a dash of white pepper and toss to combine. If the sauce seems to cling too tightly to the mixture, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to make it loose and glossy.
  • Serve over rice, and top with a crispy fried egg, if desired. Serve with additional Thai seasoning to sprinkle on top, according to taste.

Tips:

  • Slice the pineapple into thin slices for even cooking and better flavor absorption.
  • Use fresh herbs like basil and cilantro for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Adjust the amount of chili peppers to your desired spice level. If you like it extra spicy, add more peppers. If you prefer a milder dish, use fewer peppers or omit them altogether.
  • Serve the dish immediately over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
