- 2 Bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 1 cup Baby corn, halved
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cups Jasmine rice (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips and setting it aside. Prepare the vegetables by slicing the carrots and bell peppers, and halving the baby corn.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine with the curry paste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 4
Add the chicken strips to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through.
Step 5
Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, and kaffir lime leaves, if using. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 6
Add the carrots, bell peppers, snow peas, and baby corn to the skillet. Stir to coat the vegetables in the sauce and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves. Let the dish rest for a minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve the Evil Jungle Prince with steamed jasmine rice on the side. Enjoy the spicy, savory, and aromatic flavors of this dish!
