Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry

SUBMITTED BY: NELLYDESIGN  PHOTO BY: MILKLISSA79 

"This is a quick, easy, and authentic Thai curry dish that's sweet and very spicy. I became addicted to the dish at a local restaurant and then worked to duplicate it at home. I think I've got the taste and presentation pegged. I'm guesstimating on the amounts since I don't measure much when I cook. Feel free to adjust to taste."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
  • 1 quart water
  • 1/4 cup red curry paste
  • 2 (13.5 ounce) cans coconut milk
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced bamboo shoots, drained
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, julienned
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring rice and water to a boil in a pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 25 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together curry paste and 1 can coconut milk. Transfer to a wok, and mix in remaining coconut milk, chicken, fish sauce, sugar, and bamboo shoots. Bring to a boil, and cook 15 minutes, until chicken juices run clear.
