5th June 2010 - Hoi An - Vietnam - Recipe 3

Sam and I had a mini cooking course yesterday with a Vietnamese family and we learnt how to make 3 dishes! i thought i'd share the recipes on here for 2 reasons. 1 - im bound to lose the piece of paper i wrote them on before i get home and 2 - you might fancy making one of them!

3. Chicken Curry (makes one portion, but will serve 2 with rice)

200g chopped chicken
1 small bowl fresh whole milk
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 white onion
1/4 carrot
1 tomato (or 3 cherry toms)
small hand full roughly chopped cabbage
1/2 courgette (we actually used 1/4 of a vegetable called choco, kind of looked like an avocado. you might be able to find it in an asian supermarket but courgette would be just as tasty)

Roughly chop all veg, halving the cherry toms.

Seasoning:

1 teaspoon garlic
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons sugar
pinch of salt.

Add all of the above seasoning to the chopped chicken and mix.

Get a pan nice and hot and add two tablespoons of vegetable oil. allow the oil to heat and add another teaspoon of garlic to the oil and cook until brown.

Add the chicken mix and cook until meat has browned.

When brown add the carrot, onion and courgette and cook until the onion is soft (medium)

Add to the pan; toms, cabbage, curry powder and milk.

Cook until the milk boils and you see a little water coming from the milk (roughly 5 mins)

serve with rice and naan bread!

ENJOY!!!!!!!!
