Tonight, it's time to master one of those delectable takeaway menu staples, the Thai red curry. Once you've got this one in your repertoire, you'll find it's a crowd-pleaser of the highest order!
1 packet
jasmine rice
(May be present: Wheat, Gluten, Soy.)
1 clove
garlic
1
capsicum
1
carrot
1 bunch
Asian greens
½
lime
1 leaves
makrut lime leaves
1 packet
chicken thigh
½ packet
mild Thai red curry paste
1 tin
coconut milk
olive oil
1.25 cup
water (for the rice)
3 tsp
soy sauce
(Contains: Gluten, Soy)
1 tsp
brown sugar

In a medium saucepan, bring the water (for the rice) to the boil. Add the jasmine rice and stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the garlic. Cut the capsicum into 2cm chunks. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Zest the lime to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges. Remove the centre veins, then finely cut the makrut lime leaves. Cut the chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. TIP: The makrut lime leaves are fibrous so you want to cut them very finely.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken in batches, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl.

Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrot and capsicum and cook, tossing, until lightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and makrut lime and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Add the mild Thai red curry paste (see ingredients) to the pan and stir to coat. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime zest and brown sugar and stir to combine. Return the chicken back to the pan and add the Asian greens. Cook until the veggies are tender, 2-3 minutes. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.

Divide the jasmine rice between bowls and top with the Thai red chicken curry. Serve with the remaining lime wedges.
