  • 2 teaspoons cornflour
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 4 heaped teaspoons Thai green curry paste

Method

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a wok.
  • Place the chicken pieces, cornflour and sesame oil in a bowl and stir together. Add the chicken to the wok and stir-fry until it has taken a little colour. Remove the chicken from the pan and place in a strainer, saving the oil.
  • Pour some of the strained oil back into the wok and reheat. Add the shallots, ginger and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add the curry paste, tamarind paste, fish sauce, tamari soy sauce, chicken stock, sugar and coconut milk and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken and lime juice and simmer for a further 5 minutes.
  • Finally stir in the basil and coriander and check the seasoning. Serve with steamed rice.
