INGREDIENTS
- 250 g raw chicken thigh fillets
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 small zucchini (approx. 150 g)
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- 2 tablespoons rapeseed or sunflower oil
- 165 ml canned coconut milk
- 200 g dry vermicelli rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar
- 400 ml water
INGREDIENTS FOR CURRY PASTE
- 15 g fresh ginger
- 8 cloves garlic
- Zest of ½ small lemon
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1First, prepare the curry paste: Peel the ginger and garlic, put them in a blender, add all other ingredients for the paste, and blend until smooth. Then clean the chicken meat, peel the onion, and slice it thinly.
- 2Then prepare a large pot and heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Next, increase the heat to high, add the chicken meat to the pot, and sear it for about 1 minute on each side to seal it. Then transfer it from the pot to a plate and set aside for now. Next, reduce the heat to medium, add the sliced onion to the pot, and sauté it for 3–4 minutes. Then add the prepared curry paste and sauté everything for another 30–60 seconds. Next, add 400 ml of water and coconut milk, return the seared chicken meat to the pot, and cook everything for 15 minutes over medium heat.
- 3Meanwhile, slice the zucchini into thin half-moons (you don't need to peel it beforehand).
- 4After the specified time, remove the cooked chicken meat from the pot and set it aside on a plate again. Then add the sliced zucchini and rice noodles to the pot and cook everything for another 1–2 minutes over medium heat.
- 5Meanwhile, shred the cooked chicken meat into smaller pieces.
- 6After 1–2 minutes of cooking, add the shredded chicken meat, soy sauce, and cane sugar to the pot and mix everything.
- 7Season the finished curry with lemon juice, then divide it into 3 portions and serve.
Tip
Garnish each portion with chopped spring onion before serving. Fans of spicier flavors can also add chopped chili pepper and chili flakes.
