Instructions
- Chop chicken into 1-inch (bite sized) pieces. Drizzle a large pan or skillet with oil over medium heat.
- Add chicken, onions, and peppers to pan. Saute 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle yellow curry powder over chicken and veggies. Continue to saute 5-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- Add red curry paste, coconut milk, sugar, and lime juice to pan. Stir over medium heat until sauce is begins to bubble. Stir in cabbage and cook 1-2 minutes just until cabbage is tender (OR you can steam the cabbage or microwave it on high for 2-3 minutes and serve it on top of the curry instead of cooking it into the curry - I usually prefer to serve it on top like this)
- Taste, add salt, and taste again. (Add more salt as needed, see note)
- Serve with cooked white rice and garnish with fresh, chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing on top.
Notes
- When cooking with curry I've found that the amount of salt you use really impacts how flavorful the end product is. I highly recommend that you taste the curry a couple of times and continue to add salt until the flavor tastes right to you.
