How to Make Creamy Green Curry with Rice

1. In a medium saucepan, cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done.

3. Stir in the green curry paste and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Add the fish sauce and brown sugar, and mix well. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Serve the creamy green curry over a bed of jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro and green onions.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra depth of flavor, sauté the chicken until well browned before adding the curry paste.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of green curry paste to suit your spice preference.
• Use fresh vegetables like zucchini or broccoli to add more texture and nutrition.
• Make sure to stir the curry occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Easy Variations

• Substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Add other veggies like carrots or bok choy for added nutrients and color.
• Use shrimp or scallops instead of chicken for a seafood twist.
• For a lower-carb option, serve the curry with cauliflower rice.

What to Serve With It

• A side of crispy spring rolls for added crunch.
• A simple cucumber salad to balance the richness of the curry.
• Steamed broccoli or asparagus for extra greens.
• Freshly baked naan or roti to soak up the delicious sauce.
