COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat, and pan-fry the chicken breasts until the meat is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium; stir the green onions and curry paste into the skillet, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour the broth into the skillet, and scrape up and dissolve any brown flavor bits in the skillet with a spoon. Bring the mixture to a full boil, and cook until the mixture has thickened into a glaze, about 10 minutes; pour in the coconut milk, bring back to a boil, and cook until thickened, about 10 more minutes. Mix the lime juice into the sauce, and stir in any juices that have collected from the chicken. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, spoon sauce over the chicken, and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.

COCONUT RED CURRY WITH SAUTéED BOK CHOY AND JASMINE COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and season generously with kosher salt; it should be as salty as the sea. Prepare an ice bath and season generously with kosher salt. Add the bok choy stems and leaves to the boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until they're tender but still have a crunch. Remove the bok choy and immediately plunge into the ice bath and set aside. Drain the water - you can reserve the pot for the curry sauce!
• To a medium saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, half of the garlic and half of the ginger. Turn on the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir, making sure it's fully coated with the oil, garlic and ginger. Turn up the heat to medium-high and toast the rice for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 can of the coconut milk, 1/3 cup of the chicken stock and kosher salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce to a simmer and cook for 18 minutes. Turn off the pan and let sit, without opening the lid, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and fold in the chopped cilantro leaves.
• To make the curry sauce, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat in the same pot that was used to blanch the bok choy. Add the remaining garlic and ginger, the onion and minced cilantro stems. Cook until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallion whites, red curry paste, 2 tablespoons of the fish sauce and the palm sugar. Stir to combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining can of coconut milk and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Bring back up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until reduced and slightly thickened. Add the lime juice and zest.
• Pat the skin dry on the red snapper and sprinkle with kosher salt. Heat a large nonstick pan with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the snapper skin-side down into the sauté pan. Place another oiled pan on top of the fish to weigh it down so the skin gets crispy. Cook until the skin is crisp, about 4 minutes, then remove the oiled pan on top and flip the fish. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from the pan onto a sheet tray skin-side up. Add the shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side, until pink, then remove from the pan. Add a bit more olive oil to the pan, then add the bok choy and the remaining 1 teaspoon fish sauce. Stir to combine and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes to warm through.
• Plate the rice and top with the sautéed bok choy. Place the fish and shrimp over the top of the bok choy. Spoon the red curry sauce around the rice, being careful not to cover the fish skin so it stays crispy. Garnish with the sliced scallion greens and cilantro leaves.
