Cook jasmine rice(300 g) according to package. Jasmine rice usually takes 12-15 minutes. Start it first — the curry will be faster.

Cut everything
600 g

Slice chicken breast(600 g) into strips about 1 cm thick. Slice red bell pepper(1 szt) into strips of similar thickness.
Step 03 of 06
Fry the curry paste
1 łyżka
4 łyżka
800 ml
Heat rapeseed oil(1 łyżka) in a 28 cm cm pan over medium heat. Add green curry paste(4 łyżka) and stir for one minute. Pour in about half of coconut milk (2 cans)(800 ml) (the thicker top part from the can if it separated) and cook for 3-4 minutes until the fat starts to separate.
Tip
Frying the paste in coconut milk is the key to Thai curry — it releases the spice aroma. Skip this and the curry tastes flat.
Step 04 of 06
Add the chicken
600 g
Add chicken breast(600 g) to the pan and stir for 2-3 minutes until the meat turns white on the outside.
Step 05 of 06
Simmer the curry
800 ml
200 g
1 szt
2 łyżka
1 łyżka
Pour in the rest of coconut milk (2 cans)(800 ml). Add canned bamboo shoots (drained)(200 g), red bell pepper(1 szt), fish sauce(2 łyżka) and brown sugar(1 łyżka). Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce slightly thickens.
Tip
Don't boil hard. Coconut milk can split and the sauce turns grainy.

Take the pan off the heat. Squeeze in juice from half of lime(1 szt). Pick basil (small bunch)(1 szt) leaves from the stems and stir into the curry. Serve over rice with the other half of the lime cut into wedges.
Tip
Add basil at the end — cooking destroys its aroma.
Bon appétit
