Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces about 14 oz chicken breasts – cut into thin strips
  • 1.5 tbsp Thai Green Curry Powder
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil – divided
  • 1 small yellow onion – sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper – sliced thinly
  • A handful of snow peas or sugar snap peas
  • 2 tsp fish sauce or to taste (or season with our Thai Ginger-Lime Sea Salt)
  • 2 tsp sugar or to taste
  • 3-4 tbsp coconut milk
  • Generous squeezes of lime juice
  • A handful of cashews
  • Cilantro leaves to garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix Thai Green Curry Powder with 3 tbsp water & 1 tbsp oil, to form a paste.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or frying pan over medium heat. When the wok is hot, stir in the green curry paste and stir fry over medium-low heat for about 15-20 seconds, or until aromatic.
  • Add in all the vegetables and increase the heat to high. Stir and toss frequently, and add in 1-2 tablespoons of water if the mixture gets to dry. Cook until the vegetables are just beginning to turn tender-crisp – about a minute.
  • Add in the chicken, sugar, and fish sauce/salt. Toss and stir everything together. When the chicken is half cooked, add in the coconut milk and continue to stir-fry over high heat until chicken is fully cooked.
  • Taste, and adjust any seasonings if desired. Coconut milk should be cooked down to a thick sauce that coats the meat and vegetables. If you like the mixture to be lighter and more saucy, you can add one or two tablespoon of water/broth and cook for just a moment longer to heat dish.
  • Squeeze in lime juice and stir in cashew nuts to combine. Dish out to your serving plate. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

Notes

1. Like any stir-fry, it's very useful to keep a small glass of water next to you while you’re cooking. Whenever the mixture gets too dry, just add in a tablespoon at a time.
