Red Curry with Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Prepare the ingredients. This is what awaits on the plate – fragrant red curry with chicken, sweet potatoes and noodles 🥥🌶️🍜 Prepare all ingredients in advance so the work goes smoothly.

Chop the vegetables. Cut the bell pepper into thick strips

Prepare the sweet potatoes. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into cubes

Slice the onion. Slice the red onion into thin slices.

Prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken breasts into strips and lightly season with salt and pepper

Sear the chicken. Heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Then reduce the heat to medium.

Add the onion. Add the onion to the chicken and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and slightly translucent.

Add the curry paste. Stir in the red curry paste and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute to release its aroma. Be careful not to burn it.

Add the vegetables and sweet potatoes. Add the chopped vegetables, sweet potatoes and a little water. Stir, bring to a gentle boil and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Pour in the coconut milk and simmer. Optionally add fish sauce for a more intense flavor if you have it. Squeeze the juice from the lime, add a pinch of sugar and pour in the coconut milk. Bring back to a boil, then simmer over low heat for another 3-5 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce.

Cook the noodles. Meanwhile cook the noodles according to the package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes in boiling salted water).

Serve. Divide the finished curry among plates, add the cooked noodles and serve hot. Enjoy your meal 🍜✨
