Instructions
-
Preparation of Ingredients: Begin by placing the chicken, 2 cups of coconut milk, fish sauce, and laos powder into a large wok or frying pan, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Allow the chicken to cook thoroughly, ensuring it becomes tender.
-
-
Chicken Removal: Once the chicken is cooked, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove it from the pan, transferring it to a plate and setting it aside momentarily.
-
Thickening the Coconut Milk: Continue boiling the remaining mixture in the pan until the coconut milk thickens and takes on an “oily” appearance.
-
Incorporating Curry Paste: Add the green curry paste to the thickened coconut milk, stirring to combine, and allow it to cook for approximately 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
-
Combining Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the pan, pouring in the remaining coconut milk. Bring the entire mixture back to a boil.
-
Final Cooking Stage: Reduce the heat and let the curry simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Adding Fresh Ingredients: Finally, add the fresh basil leaves, lime leaves, green peas, and sliced serrano chilies to the pan. Increase the heat slightly and let everything boil together for an additional 5 minutes.
-
Serving: Serve the Gaeng Keow Wan Gai immediately, perhaps over steamed jasmine rice or with your favorite sides.
