Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in red curry paste, let sizzle for a few seconds, then pour in coconut milk. Bring to a boil. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

Reduce to a simmer, stir a little, and wait for the oil to rise to the surface. Add chicken thighs and lime leaves and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the centers, about 12 minutes. (Estimated time: 15 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Add fish sauce and brown sugar and taste--if you like it a little saltier, add more fish sauce; if you like it sweeter, add a little more sugar. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Bring to a boil, then take off the heat and add Thai basil. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

05

Step
1 mins

Spoon the curry into a bowl. Serve with jasmine rice. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of lime juice at the end.
Feel free to substitute other proteins like tofu or shrimp for the chicken.
Adjust the amount of red curry paste to control the spiciness level.
