All Things Chill

Larger view here. Ultimate pantry / anytime meal. Green curry paste, 1 can of coconut milk, 2 cut up defrosted chicken breasts, 1 can of bamboo shoots (drained) and 1 red bell pepper – which incidentally was the only “fresh” thing in the kitchen. Let me say one thing before I continue:

UNLESS YOU REALLY LOVE SPICY FOOD, CUT THE REQUIRED GREEN (OR RED) CURRY PASTE IN HALF JUST IN CASE.

Seriously. The curry will taste fine as a mild dish. Of what I’ve read on the Intertubes, 9 out of 10 people complained that the recipes that they followed was waaay too spicy. I just threw the paste in the pot added the coconut milk and brought it to a boil. I then added the chicken and waited for it to cook through. About 5 minutes before I served the dish, I added the julienned red peppers and the bamboo shoots. I served it with some white rice and washed it all down with some mango tea that I iced and sweetened with a simple syrup.

YAY Thai @ home!
