Ingredients
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is the star ingredient in this recipe. It adds a rich creaminess and balances the spices beautifully. You will need one can (about 13.5 ounces) of full-fat coconut milk for optimal flavor.
Curry Paste
Curry paste brings authentic Thai flavor to your dish. You can use red or green curry paste based on your preference. Use about 2 tablespoons for a balanced taste that’s not too overpowering.
Vegetables
For this dish, incorporate bell peppers and snap peas to add color and texture. Use one red bell pepper sliced into strips and about 1 cup of sugar snap peas for freshness.
Protein
Choose your protein based on your dietary preferences; chicken or tofu works well. If using chicken, aim for about 1 pound of boneless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces. For tofu lovers, use firm tofu (14 ounces) diced into cubes.
Broth
Chicken or vegetable broth adds depth to the curry sauce. You will need about 1 cup of broth to blend all flavors together seamlessly.
Lime Juice
Fresh lime juice brightens up the flavors in this dish. Squeeze half a lime over the finished curry for a zesty kick that enhances every bite.
Fresh Herbs
Basil adds freshness to your curry. Use about ¼ cup of fresh basil leaves chopped finely to sprinkle on top before serving.
