NOTES
Step 12
Prep time does not include steps that are already accounted for in the ingredient list, e.g. chopped vegetables, diced chicken, etc.
Step 13
Use a splatter screen if necessary, in the first step, to guard against coconut milk splatters.
Step 14
You can choose to substitute the vegetables with your choice e.g. green beans, Thai eggplant, peas.
Step 15
You can also increase the quantity of vegetables to suit your tastes.
Step 16
My chicken was thinly sliced. If your pieces of chicken are larger, you’ll need to add on a few more minutes of cooking or just do a natural release of pressure.* Lime leaves are also referred to as k-lime, makrut or kaffir lime leaves.
