How to Make Chicken Green Curry With Basil

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 ounces (113g) of coconut milk to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of green curry paste, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 cup (120ml) of chicken stock, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. Stir to combine.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. Stir in the remaining 1 (13.5 ounce) can of coconut milk, 1/4 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves, 1/2 cup (70g) bamboo shoots (sliced), and 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces).
  5. Simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Add 1 cup (100g) of snow peas and stir gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the snow peas are bright green and crisp-tender.
  7. Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with extra basil leaves, if desired.
