Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces (optional)
- 2 tablespoons green curry paste
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 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 sliced bamboo shoots
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
Instructions
- Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. If using chicken, add it and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add green curry paste to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, whisking to combine with the curry paste.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snow peas, and bamboo shoots to the pot. If using chicken, return it to the pot now.
- Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
Notes
- For a vegetarian or vegan version, omit the chicken and fish sauce. Use soy sauce or tamari instead of fish sauce, and ensure your green curry paste is vegan.
- Adjust the amount of green curry paste to control the spice level.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms.
