Steps
Preparation
Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Slice the lemongrass thinly, cut the bell pepper into strips, and halve the green beans. Prepare the bamboo shoots and basil leaves.
Curry Base
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the green curry paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced lemongrass. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Chicken and Coconut Milk
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until they turn white on all sides. Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is tender.
Add Vegetables
Add the red bell pepper, green beans, and bamboo shoots to the curry. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Taste and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce or sugar if needed.
Finish and Serve
Remove from heat, stir in the lime juice and fresh Thai basil leaves. Serve immediately, hot, with freshly cooked jasmine rice. Enjoy your meal!
Extra Tips
► If you like it spicier, add a bit more green curry paste or some fresh chilies at the end of cooking.
► Fresh Thai basil is essential for an authentic flavor, but if you can't find it, regular basil can be a substitute.
► Serve hot with freshly cooked jasmine rice to soak up every delicious drop of the sauce!
