Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

simple and quick; with meat or vegetarian

First, cut the chicken breast fillet into small pieces and marinate in soy sauce and honey in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. This can also be prepared the night before. Then stir-fry in a wok and set aside. Chop the vegetables. The pieces don’t have to be too small; it’s okay if you still see what you’re eating. Briefly fry the mushrooms and set aside. Heat the peanut oil and add the curry paste and peanut butter and let it melt. Caution: Don’t let it burn! Deglaze with orange juice and bring to a boil. Gradually add the coconut milk, stirring well before adding more. This will give it a nicer color. Thin with a little water. Cook the rice according to the instructions. Now add the garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, lemongrass, ginger, chili, and vegetables and cook for about 10-15 minutes. The vegetables should still be a bit crunchy. Shortly before the end of the cooking time, add the meat, mushrooms, pineapple, and chives. Taste again and add more soy sauce or chili if desired. Adding salt is usually not necessary, as soy sauce and fish sauce contain enough salt. The orange juice and pineapple also add a pleasant sweetness to the dish. Serve with Thai fragrant rice.
