Notes: Following an Alton Brown tip, we used a frozen Asian vegetable medley product that can be micro waved in the unopened bag. In 2-2½ minutes on high, they cook a little less than half and stay crisp, cutting the final prep time down.
Directions:
Convert curry powder into paste and set aside (see below for paste recipe). In a large skillet, heat coconut milk over low heat 5-6 minutes. Thoroughly mix in Cambodian Lemongrass curry paste. Add chicken and cook, covered, over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vegetables (including optional ingredients) and lime juice, stir thoroughly, cover and simmer over low heat 15-20 minutes, making sure the chicken is cooked through. For a slightly thicker sauce, remove cover and simmer 5-10 minutes more, depending on desired consistency.
Cambodian curry paste:
Mix curry powder with water, olive oil and fish sauce. For a vegetarian friendly version, substitute soy sauce for the fish sauce.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve over rice.
