"Cooking Thai Food in American Kitchens" by Malulee Pinsuvana


List of Ingredients

2 tablespoons green curry paste

1 cup chopped chicken breast
1 cup roughly chopped mushrooms
Optional vegetables: baby corn, eggplant, green peas
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 green chilies (optional)
A few lemon leaves
Basil leaves
Jasmine rice




Recipe

While preparing other ingredients, cook 2 cups of rice and 2 cups of water in a rice cooker for about 15 minutes. (Rice also can be cooked in a covered saucepan.)

Stir-fry curry paste 1 minute in oil or coconut milk; add chicken, stir fry until done; add the rest of the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Add mushrooms, other vegetables, fish sauce, sugar, lemon leaves and chopped green chilies, if you wish. Stir a few times, and remove from heat. Add basil leaves before serving over rice.
