Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add 5 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 chopped yellow onion, and 2 tbsp julienned fresh ginger, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the onion softens.
  2. Step 2: Add 350 g thinly sliced chicken breast to the pan and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is white and starting to brown.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 1.5 tbsp curry powder over the chicken and stir well to evenly coat the meat, cooking for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 150 ml coconut milk and 1/4 cup water, then add 1 tsp fish sauce and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  5. Step 5: Add 1/2 cup green peas and cook uncovered for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the peas are tender.
  6. Step 6: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
