Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 12 oz thinly sliced chicken breast and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned and nearly cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1.5 tbsp Thai red curry paste and cook for 1 minute until the paste is aromatic and coats the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 medium sliced bell pepper, 1 cup snap peas, and 1 large julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
  5. Step 5: Pour in 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro before serving with steamed rice or noodles.
