Thai Disco Fries
Thai Disco Fries
Directions
- Heat oil in a large heavy based skillet over medium high heat. Add curry paste and cook for about 2 minutes so it 'dries out.' Add chicken broth and stir to dissolve paste. Simmer rapidly for 3 minutes or until liquid reduces by half. Add 1 can of coconut milk, sugar, and fish sauce. Stir, then add chicken. Spread the chicken out, bring it to a simmer, and then turn the heat down to medium. Simmer for about 8- 10 minutes or until the sauce reduces and the chicken is cooked.
- Taste and add more fish sauce for more more saltiness or sugar for sweetness, depending on personal preference.
- Remove from heat. Stir in a handful of Thai basil leaves.
- Make coconut cream by adding the remaining can of coconut milk to a saucepan and reduce over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until thick and reduced by 2/3. Then add in the lime juice and zest.
- For the fried garlic, add sliced garlic and grapeseed oil to a small pan on low heat. Slowly cook until golden brown, being careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from oil, dry on paper towel and season with a little salt.
- Plate the fries and top with the chicken and a ladle of the warmed red curry. Build the layers by adding your toppings of pickled red onions, pickled jalapenos, green sriracha, coconut cream, cilantro, crispy fried garlic, onions, and peanuts.
