Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and prepare chicken by dicing it into bite-sized pieces. Slice galangal and tear kaffir lime leaves.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Curry Paste

    Stir in the green curry paste and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine with the curry paste.

  5. 5

    Add Shrimp Flakes and Seasoning

    Add the shrimp flakes, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, and sugar. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the curry is thickened and aromatic, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy with steamed rice.
