Thai Green Curry with Jasmine Rice Recipe

Ingredients

Curry

• 30ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
• 100g (4 oz) Thai green curry paste
• 400ml (14 fl oz) coconut milk
• 500g (1.1 lbs) chicken breast, sliced thinly
• 150g (5 oz) green beans, trimmed
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 30ml (2 tbsp) fish sauce
• 5g (1 tsp) brown sugar
• 15ml (1 tbsp) lime juice, freshly squeezed
• Handful of fresh Thai basil leaves
• Salt and pepper to taste

Jasmine Rice

• 300g (1.5 cups) jasmine rice
• 600ml (2.5 cups) water

Instructions

Step 1: Cooking Jasmine Rice

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky. In a rice cooker or medium pot, combine rinsed rice with 600ml (2.5 cups) water. If using a pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15–18 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Step 2: Preparing the Curry

Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add the Thai green curry paste and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with the paste.

Step 3: Cooking the Chicken and Vegetables

Add sliced chicken breast to the curry mixture and cook for 5–7 minutes until halfway cooked through. Stir in the green beans, bell pepper, and zucchini, allowing them to simmer and soak up the flavors for another 5–7 minutes.

Step 4: Flavoring the Curry

Season the curry with fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir well and taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.

Step 5: Garnishing and Serving

Once the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender, remove from heat. Stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves just before serving. Serve hot Thai green curry alongside the steamed jasmine rice.

Conclusion

You’ve now crafted a delicious and authentic Thai Green Curry with Jasmine Rice, perfect for any dinner occasion. Not only does this dish encapsulate the vibrant and rich flavors of Thailand, but it also offers a fulfilling experience for the palate. Enjoy this dish as an enticing centerpiece in your culinary adventures or a comforting meal to share with loved ones. Happy cooking!
