How to Make Awesome Thai Chicken Coconut Curry
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or pan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 2 tablespoons of green curry paste, 1 inch of grated ginger, and the thick cream from the top of a 13.5 oz can of coconut milk. Whisk to combine.
- Pour in the remaining coconut milk (about 12 oz), 1 red bell pepper (sliced), 1 green bell pepper (sliced), 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 lime (juiced). Whisk to combine.

- Serve hot over 2 cups cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
