Serves two
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 1lb (optional: substitute with tofu patted dry and cut into 1cm thick pads)
- 2-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 slices ginger, thinly julienned
- 2 Tsp Thai red curry paste
- 1 cup coconut cream, vitreous liquid (sort of like coconut milk) separated
- Vegetables: baby bok choy (halved), bell pepper (cut to 0.5cm width strips), zucchini (cut into medallions), etc.
- Cilantro/scallion for garnish
- Rice for serving
Steps
- Start rice.
- Season chicken thighs with S+P. Sear on high heat. (if skin-on, remove skin before this step)
- Remove from pan, leaving fond. If bone-on, remove bones after searing.
- Add oil, garlic, ginger, and curry paste. Lightly cook to reduce moisture slightly in the curry paste. Light fond should develop.
- Add coconut cream and scrape fond.
- Add vegetables and reserve chicken; cook until lightly tender.
- Add more salt, curry paste, and/or coconut cream's vitreous liquid as required for texture, colour, and taste.
- Serve over rice.
