Description

This dish is a fragrant and spicy Thai-style stir-fry that balances the richness of coconut milk with the heat of fresh chilies. Tender strips of chicken breast (or mixed vegetables) are tossed in a savory sauce infused with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and basil. The result is a meal that is both comforting and exciting, with a perfect harmony of textures from crisp cabbage and soft proteins. It&# 226;€™s an excellent choice for a quick weeknight dinner or a flavorful appetizer for gatherings. The bold flavors come together quickly, making it an accessible yet impressive option for home cooks. Serve it over rice or enjoy it as a light main course with fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the chicken breast into 2-inch strips. If preparing the vegetable version, cut your chosen mixed vegetables into thin strips.
  2. Grind together the red chili peppers, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves in a food processor or pound them in a mortar until finely minced.
  3. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the pepper mixture and sauté for about 3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the coconut milk and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to heat through.
  6. Add the chicken strips (or vegetables) and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  8. Stir in the fish sauce, salt, and fresh basil leaves. Mix well to combine flavors.
  9. Serve immediately on a bed of thinly chopped cabbage.
