Recipe Steps
Cook 2 cups of jasmine rice according to package directions. Once fluffy, set aside and keep warm.
In a large pot, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.
Stir in the red curry paste and let it cook for about 1 minute to release its flavors. Pour in the hot water, coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and slightly creamy.
Add the chicken thighs to the sauce, ensuring they’re fully covered. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 18–20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken from the pan, slice it into strips, and return it to the curry. Stir well and simmer for another 2 minutes so the flavors meld together beautifully.
Spoon rice into serving bowls. Add the sliced chicken and ladle a generous amount of curry sauce over the top.
Drizzle with chili oil, sprinkle spring onions and coriander, and finish with a squeeze of lime for freshness. Serve hot and enjoy your creamy, aromatic Thai-inspired meal!
