Gai Pad Prik Gaeng Recipe
If
you love the flavor of the curry, but the stir fry cooking method, you’ll love
this Thai recipe.
Along
with chicken
stir fried with holy basil, chicken stir fried
in red curry paste, known as gai pad prik gaeng (ไก่ผัดพริกแกง) in Thai, is one
of my favorite quick and easy Thai street food dishes.
The
best thing about this dish is that it’s available at nearly every single Thai
stir fry street food restaurant, and while it’s excellent on the streets, it’s
even better when you make it at home using freshly made red curry paste.
This
gai pad prik gaeng recipe (ไก่ผัดพริกแกง) is really easy to make, as long as you
already have some Thai red curry paste (เครื่องแกงเผ็ด) available.
The
Thai red curry paste forms the base of flavor for this gai pad prik gaeng
(chicken fried with red curry paste ไก่ผัดพริกแกง).
Ingredients
·
300 grams , or about 1.5 chicken
breasts
·
3 strands of Chinese long beans (or
about ⅓ cup of chopped string beans)
·
3 – 5 kaffir lime leaves
·
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (recipe here), or alternatively packaged red
curry paste, but it won’t be as good.
·
1 teaspoon fish sauce
·
½ teaspoon sugar
· 1
tablespoon oil for frying
Instructions
1.
The first thing you need to do is
take your chicken and slice it into small bite sized pieces. I like to cut it
quite fine so there’s more surface area for flavor, and so it cooks quicker.
2.
Cut the Chinese long beans (or green
beans) into 1 inch pieces.
3.
Once your chicken and long beans are
cut, go ahead and light your stove on low heat and add in 1 tablespoon of oil.
You really need to use about 1 tablespoon of oil, if you use less, the curry
paste will burn and stick to the pan.
4.
No need to wait until your oil is
hot, just toss in about 3 tablespoons of red curry paste into the oil and start
stir frying it in the oil. Let it sizzle for about 20 – 30 seconds on low heat,
and it should really be fragrant (you might even cough from the frying
chilies!).
5.
Next add your chicken, turn up the
heat to high, and start stir frying constantly, fully mixing the chicken with
the curry sauce.
6.
Quickly season with 1 teaspoon of
fish sauce (give your curry paste a test to see how salty it already is, from
the package it might be saltier than the homemade version), and ½ teaspoon
sugar.
7.
Stir fry constantly, and at this
point if it’s getting dry, add a couple tablespoons of water.
8.
Keep stir frying the chicken on high
heat for about 2 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
9.
When the chicken is fully cooked,
add the sliced long beans, and then break in about 3 – 5 kaffir limes leaves.
10. Stir
fry for just 30 seconds and then turn off the heat. You want the long beans to
still be nice and crisp.
11. Dish
your gai pad prik gaeng (ไก่ผัดพริกแกง)
out onto a plate and serve with freshly steamed rice.
