Instructions

1

Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the green curry paste and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

2

Pour in half the coconut milk and stir to combine with the paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the oil starts to separate on the surface.

Tip: This step blooms the curry paste in the coconut cream. Skipping it makes for a less complex, watery curry.

3

Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until the outside is white. Add the remaining coconut milk, eggplant, bamboo shoots, and kaffir lime leaves.

4

Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the eggplant is tender. Stir in the fish sauce and sugar.

5

Add the bell pepper and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Thai basil.

6

Serve over steamed jasmine rice.
