  • 2tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1/2 green capsicum, sliced
  • 20 green beans, sliced
  • 1 cup bean sprouts

Method

In a pan, fry the diced chicken in hot peanut oil to seal and add curry paste.

Fry for 2 minutes and add the coconut cream, brown sugar and fish sauce.

Add 1 cup of water and bring to a slow simmer.

Toss in all the vegetables except for the bean sprouts. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Stir in bean sprouts just before serving.

Notes

  • This is a little smoother than a green curry. It seams to highlight the flavours of the vegetables better. Even my children will have this curry.
  • You can make it spicier by adding an extra tablespoon of curry paste and some sliced red chillies.
  • I like to serve this with steamed jasmine rice alongside a plate of Thai fishcakes.
