Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons green curry paste
• 400 grams chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 200 grams rice noodles
• 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Start by soaking the rice noodles in warm water for 10 minutes, or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the green curry paste and sauté for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
6. Add the fish sauce, sugar, and mixed vegetables. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
7. Add the soaked and drained rice noodles to the skillet. Toss to coat everything evenly in the curry sauce.
8. Squeeze the lime juice over the noodles and season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving hot.

Helpful Tips

• For a milder dish, use less green curry paste, or add more coconut milk to balance the spice.
• You can substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
• If fresh basil is unavailable, fresh cilantro makes an excellent alternative.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or water to loosen the noodles.
