Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces (optional, for a vegetarian version, omit)
- 2-3 tablespoons green curry paste (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (use soy sauce or tamari for vegetarian/vegan)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snow peas
- 1/2 cup bamboo shoots, drained
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
Instructions
- Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. If using chicken, add it and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add the green curry paste to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Whisk to combine with the curry paste.
- Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- If using chicken, return it to the pot. Add the bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, and bamboo shoots.
- Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more curry paste for heat or a touch more sugar for sweetness.
- Serve hot over jasmine rice, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
Notes
- For a spicier curry, add more green curry paste or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or cauliflower.
- Ensure you use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest sauce.
