Green curry with chicken
6 servings
30 minutes
A simple recipe, but you should prepare this dish well in advance: the chicken needs to be marinated for 6 hours. This recipe and the other two recommend using fragrant jasmine rice - and it's best not to neglect this recommendation. The recipe was shared with us by the chef of the Indochine restaurant, Xu Lei.
