Name: Red Curry Steamed Chicken Or Fish
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup coconut cream; 2 teaspoons rice flour; 1 egg, beaten; 300 g boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes; 2 tablespoons red curry paste; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 3 tablespoons oyster sauce; 2 teaspoons palm sugar; 1 cup cabbage, shredded; 20 basil leaves; 3 tablespoons lime peel, finely shredded

Servings: persons

1
Put coconut cream & rice flour into a small pot and bring to a boil. Set aside (don't allow this to get cold though).
2
In a large bowl, put the egg, chicken (fish or veges, if using), red curry paste, soy & oyster sauces and palm sugar, and mix until well combined.
3
Put the cabbage and then the basil leaves (5 per serving) into the bottom of each little bowl.
4
Divide the chicken (fish or veges) mixture evenly between the 4 bowls (they will be quite full, but don't worry, as the cabbage & chicken cooks this will shrink down), top with the lime peel and steam for 15 minutes (or until chicken is cooked).
5
Top with the thickened coconut cream recipe and steam for a further minute. Garnish with finely sliced red chili if desired.
