This is a nice tasty dish that can be served with or without meat so can be used as a vegetarian meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 4 cm ginger grated
- 3 tbs red Thai curry paste
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 1 tbs brown sugar
- 400 g butternut pumpkin cubed small
- 1 sweet potato cubed peeled
- 200 g snow peas sliced
- 3 cup rice
- 500 g chicken breast fillet diced
- 3 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp fish sauce
Method
-
Step 1Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger cook for about 3 minutes or until soft and tender. Add curry paste then simmer for 2 minutes.
-
Step 2Once vegetables are tender, not too soft, add snow peas and a 1/4 cup of coconut milk. Let simmer for about 2 minutes stirring.
-
Step 3Stir in remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, pumpkin and sweet potato. Stir till well combined. Bring all to boil then turn down to simmer until vegetables are tender, roughly 25 minutes depending on heat. Stir occasionally.
-
Step 4While that is cooking, place chicken in fry pan with small amount of olive oil. Cook until no longer pink in the inside of the flesh. If a piece of meat is too big you can use a spatula to cut down to smaller sizes. It is easier to cut chicken down when it is half cooked than when raw.
-
Step 5Boil rice, mixing in turmeric. Once cooked, place in strainer and wash with cold water.
-
Step 6Once all ingredients are cooked to your taste place rice on a bowl/plate. Form a well in the middle of the rice to place the chicken. Add chicken then spoon on the curry vegetable mixture allowing liquid from the dish to flow through the rice.
Recipe Notes
To make plate/bowl look nice, sprinkle chopped parsley on top to serve.
Omit the chicken if wanting a vegetarian option.
Rice can also be made in advance to save time.
