Ingredients

  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 110 g green curry paste
  • 300 g chicken breasts or thighs (optional)
  • 1 yellow onion (chopped in slices)
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 small red pepper
  • 1 cup of peas
  • 1 ½ cup of chopped mushrooms
  • 2 cups white rice
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

  • Cook the rice until water is totally absorbed. Remove the pot from the stove and cover it with a kitchen cloth. For two cups of rice you need four cups of water.
  • Chop the chicken in small cubes, add some salt and pepper and stir fry it in a pan until it is cooked enough, but not overcooked.
  • Meanwhile, prepare all the veggies, chop them in bigger, thinner slices, like sticks. Remove the fried chicken and sauté the veggies in a same pan.
  • Remove the veggies when they are soft enough but not overcooked. Fry green curry paste in the same pan for a minute or so, then add coconut milk and cook the sauce for 3 min. Add veggies and meat. Cook everything together for at least five minutes at medium heat.
