Introduction
Thai takeaways and restaurants are popping up all over the place in response to our love of street food and fragrant Thai-spiced dishes. You can get some fantastic curry pastes now on our high streets and supermarkets and they add amazing flavour to a speedy supper. And paired with some fresh ingredients, such as ginger, lemon grass and garlic, they can help homemade versions of these dishes reach new heights.
Ingredients
| 1 tbsp | coconut oil |
| 1 | onion, diced |
| 6 | garlic cloves, crushed |
| 1 | red chilli, deseeded and diced (optional) |
| 1 | lemon grass stalk, bruised |
| 1 tbsp | grated fresh root ginger |
| 400ml | reduced-fat coconut milk |
| 400ml | chicken stock |
| 1 tbsp | soy sauce |
| 2 tbsp | red Thai curry paste |
| 2 tbsp | unsweetened peanut butter |
| 2 | chicken breasts, skinned and thinly sliced |
| 150g | fine green beans |
| 1–2 | limes |
| 1 tbsp | brown sugar, to taste |
| small bunch of fresh coriander, to serve (optional) |
Method
Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the coconut oil. Fry the onion, garlic, chilli, if using, lemon grass and ginger for about 5 minutes until softened. Pour in the coconut milk, stock, soy sauce, curry paste and peanut butter and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the slices of chicken to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, then add the beans and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes. Add a good squeeze of lime juice and sugar to taste, to balance the flavours of the dish.
Stir in some fresh coriander, if using, then serve with wholegrain basmati rice.
