Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons red curry paste
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 250 milliliters chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 units shallots, finely chopped
- 10 leaves Thai basil leaves
- 1 unit red chili, sliced (optional)
- 3 cups jasmine rice, cooked (for serving)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Rinse the baby bok choy under cold water. Slice them in half lengthwise and pat dry. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and allow it to melt.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and chopped shallots to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to release its aromatics.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the baby bok choy to the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, just until the bok choy is tender but still bright green.
Garnish with Thai basil leaves and sliced red chili, if desired.
Serve hot over jasmine rice.
