How to Make Red Curry Chicken With Snake Beans Long Beans

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of red curry paste and 1 cup of chicken broth to the hot oil. Stir until smooth and fragrant.
  3. Continue stirring until the curry paste is fragrant and the oil separates slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces. Stir-fry until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Add 1 cup of trimmed snake beans, 1 cup of trimmed long beans, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 3-4 kaffir lime leaves (roughly torn), 4 shallots (thinly sliced), 1 tablespoon palm sugar, and 1-2 tablespoons fish sauce. Stir to combine.
  6. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp. Add more chicken broth (1/2 cup at a time) if the mixture becomes too dry.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
  8. Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice.
