Ingredients
- 2 cups yellow potato peeled and cubed
- 1 lb chicken thigh or breast meat sliced thin
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup Thai red curry paste
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 kaffir lime leaves (optional, See Note 1)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 red fresno chile or jalapeño sliced (See Note 2)
- 2 cups mixed bell peppers sliced thin strips
Garnish
- 1 tbsp mint (See Note 3)
- 1 tbsp Thai basil (See Note 3)
Instructions
- Cook potato in salted boiling water until fork tender (about 10 minutes). Drain and set aside, covered.
- In a wok or large skillet over medium heat add the oil and curry paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the chicken and cook for another 6 minutes.
- Add the fish sauce, peanut butter, sugar, kaffir lime leaves, chili, coconut milk and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add sliced bell peppers, cooked potato cubes and cook another 3 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Sauce should thicken and reduce.
- Sprinkle chopped mint and basil on top. Serve with steamed rice and sliced limes to squeeze on top.
Notes
- Thai basil and Kaffir limes leaves can be found in most Asian markets in the vegetable section. Kaffir limes leaves give off a wonderful floral, lime type aroma and flavor. A teaspoon of lime zest can be a substitute.
- The fresno chile looks like a red jalapeño pepper. For the heat a substitute can be a regular jalapeño or go HOT with a Birds Eye Chile.
- This uses fresh Thai basil, but regular basil may be substituted if you can't find.
