How to Make Bangkok Chicken Curry

  1. Cook Rice: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 cup of brown rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prep Ingredients: While rice cooks, prepare all vegetables. Chop 1 large bell pepper into 1-inch pieces, 1 medium onion into half-moons, 1 cup bamboo shoots into 1-inch pieces, and 4 cloves garlic, finely minced.
  3. Heat Wok: Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
  4. Cook Chicken: Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the wok. Stir-fry constantly for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
  5. Add Aromatics: Add 3 tablespoons of Thai red curry paste and stir constantly for 1 minute until fragrant. Add minced garlic, 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste), and 2 tablespoons fish sauce. Stir to combine.
  6. Add Vegetables: Add the bell peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the onions and cook until softened but still slightly crisp (about 3-5 minutes).
  7. Finish Curry: Stir in the bamboo shoots, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Add 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
  8. Garnish & Serve: Reduce heat to low, stir in ½ cup fresh basil leaves, and simmer for 2 minutes. Serve hot over cooked brown rice.
