Curry Chicken

Submitted by: Taryn Richardson

So delicious you'll want to lick your plate!

2 tsp. canola oil

1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger

1 clove garlic, minced

1 1/2 tsp. Thai red curry paste

1/2 tsp. ground coriander

1/4 tsp. ground cumin

1 1/2 cups coconut milk

1 1/2 tbsp. packed brown sugar

1 tbsp. fish sauce (nam-pla)

1/4 tsp. salt


In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the curry paste, coriander, and cumin; cook 30 seconds longer. Stir in the coconut milk, brown sugar, fish sauce, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the sauce just begins to simmer, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat.


Makes 6 servings at 1/4 cup each serving.


Notes:

I never simmer it for 6-8 minutes. I just mix in the last few ingredients really well, and then I feel like it's ready to eat. Also, we love the red curry flavor, so when I make it for my family, I usually double or triple the amount of curry we put in the sauce.


I have Trav grill a couple pieces of chicken on the BBQ, then I slice it up into small pieces and put it into the sauce when the sauce is done. Then I serve it over brown rice. But I'm sure any rice will be good with it.

I love this & agree with you Taryn, more curry paste is definately better! This is also good with green curry paste, it's a little sweeter. I also love to serve it on jasmine rice!
