Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick pan.

Step 2

Add the light scallions, garlic, and jalapeño and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not brown.

Step 3

Add the coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and brown sugar and whisk together.

Step 4

Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, a few minutes.

Step 5

Add the chicken and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally to promote even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. (Do not let the sauce boil; the idea is to cook the chicken gently so that it's tender.)

Step 6

Stir in the lime juice, dark scallion greens, and cilantro.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime, if necessary. Serve with jasmine rice.
