Pad Prik King (Thai Red Curry Chicken & Long Beans)
A quick and classic Thai stir-fry featuring tender chicken and crunchy long beans coated in a rich, sweet-and-savory red curry paste sauce. Served with a salted duck egg for a creamy, salty contrast that elevates the dish to perfection. Chef's tips: (1) Do not slice chicken breasts too thin, or they will dry out and overcook very quickly. (2) Adding a touch of vegetable oil to the raw chicken marinade keeps the pieces from clumping together in the wok. (3) Pad Prik King is a dry stir-fry; the curry paste should cling to the chicken and beans instead of forming a pool of sauce. (4) The dish is meant to have a balance of sweet and salty flavors, making it slightly sweeter than typical stir-fries.
