I’ve made this quite a few times. It is quick enough to prepare during the week and is healthy and delicious. Make it even healthier by using Brown Jasmine Rice. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
- 1 quart water
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into 1/2 inch strips
- 3 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 5 green onions, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh basil leaves
Directions
- Bring rice and water to a boil in a pot. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix the coconut milk, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, and red pepper flakes.
- In a skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, ginger, and garlic, and cook until lightly browned. Mix in chicken strips, and cook about 3 minutes, until browned. Stir in the coconut milk sauce. Continue cooking until sauce is reduced be about 1/3. Mix in mushrooms, green onions, and basil, and cook until heated through. Serve over the cooked rice.
Yum 🙂 Looks great! I love Thai food ~ Thanks for sharing 😉
You’re welcome 🙂 I love Thai food too – the flavors are so good.
I love Thai food and this looks awesome!
Thank you – I think you would like this – it’s easy and good.
that sure is spicy! Im interested on how to cook a pad thai!
Did you by chance get a new camera? These photos look amazing Cheryl!!! And I love this dish. I’ve made it before with shrimp. I must try it with chicken! It looks super delicious.
Hi Tia 🙂 No, I didn’t get a new camera. It’s the same camera but I’ve been reading about food photography and practicing. I’ll have to try it with shrimp. I’ve found that a lot of recipes are interchangeable with chicken and shrimp and taste awesome both ways.
Wow! It’s doing a wonderful job! I love it.
Thank you! 🙂
This looks absolute phenomenal!
Thank you so much. It’s delicious.
What a great photo of a delicious sounding dish.
Thank you Karen for the nice compliment.
OH yeah, I can definitely see myself vege-tizing this for me and my husband. It would be safe to say I am obsessed with Thai food.
I would eat it without chicken and I think it would be just as good. 🙂
This looks and sounds delicious, i will have to try it soon 🙂
