Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes for 5 minutes, then add the green beans and cook 3 minutes more, until both are just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok until very hot and cook the garlic just until golden โ€” only a few seconds, and don't let it darken or it will turn bitter. Stir in the curry paste for a few seconds to wake up the spices, then pour in the coconut milk and bring it to a bubble.
  3. Stir in the fish sauce and sugar, then the chicken. Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 8 minutes, until the chicken is done.
  4. Add the potatoes and beans and let them warm through, then stir in the shredded lime leaves (or a little lime zest). Drop in the basil at the very end so it stays bright, and serve straight away with boiled rice.
