Ingredients 6

500 g chicken thigh meat (boneless, skinless leg and thigh), cut into pieces
2 tbsp Thai red curry paste
400 ml coconut cream
salt to taste
a splash of water, to loosen the paste
cauliflower rice, to serve (about 100 g each)

Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

Heat a tablespoon of the coconut cream in a wok until it froths and bubbles. 1:05
Add the curry paste and fry it in the coconut cream for a minute or two until fragrant. 1:12
Add the chicken, season with salt and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes so it takes on the paste. If the paste starts to catch, add a splash of water and scrape the wok. 1:27
Pour in the rest of the coconut cream, stir, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. 2:08
Serve the curry over steamed cauliflower rice.

Tip. Green curry paste works the same way. Most Thai curry pastes contain shrimp paste, so check the label if you avoid shellfish. Keeps 3 days in the fridge.

Vitamins & minerals % of a day, one serve · tap for more

Vitamin C High58%

52 mg a serve, mostly from cauliflower rice (92%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Selenium High53%

29 µg a serve, mostly from chicken thigh meat (77%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Zinc High34%

3.8 mg a serve, mostly from chicken thigh meat (65%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Vitamin B6 High34%

0.6 mg a serve, mostly from chicken thigh meat (56%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Iron High23%

4.1 mg a serve, mostly from coconut cream (56%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Vitamin B12 High23%

0.6 µg a serve, mostly from chicken thigh meat (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Folate High22%

88 µg a serve, mostly from cauliflower rice (65%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Potassium Source19%

890 mg a serve, mostly from coconut cream (36%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Vitamin K Source17%

20 µg a serve, mostly from cauliflower rice (76%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Magnesium Source16%

68 mg a serve, mostly from coconut cream (41%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Omega-37%

0.1 g a serve, mostly from chicken thigh meat (60%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Calcium4%

46 mg a serve, mostly from cauliflower rice (48%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Vitamin E4%

0.5 mg a serve, mostly from chicken thigh meat (43%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Vitamin A3%

25 µg a serve, mostly from chicken thigh meat (75%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Vitamin D0%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from chicken thigh meat (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
