Ingredients

  • 1 packet Qetoe Rice
  • 400g skinless chicken thigh fillets, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 brown onion, finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 200ml light coconut milk
  • 100ml water
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 80g green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 long red chilli, sliced

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat and cook the onion for 3 minutes until soft. Add the garlic, ginger and curry powder and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the chicken and toss for 3 minutes until coated in the spices and sealed.
  3. Pour in the light coconut milk, water and fish sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 12 minutes, adding the green beans for the last 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick and glossy.
  4. Meanwhile, cover the Qetoe Rice with boiling water, cover with a plate for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  5. Stir the lime juice through the curry, spoon it over the rice and top with the coriander and sliced chilli.

Tips

Toast the curry powder in the oil for a full minute before the chicken goes in. It wakes the spices up and gives the sauce that deep, rich colour.
