    I have a shellfish allergy- is it still worth doing when excluding the oyster sauce?

    The best thing I've cooked all year! Literally will never make a curry any other way - my partner is still talking about it - will be making this weekly AT LEAST!!!! I think I added Bok Choi and had to finish the chicken in the oven because my extractor fan carked it.

    ‘Twas delicious! added spinach per other’s rec, but I think next time I’ll do little broccoli florets. the chicken itself was *divine* and my curry paste seemed spicy enough on its own to not need the chili oil

    delicious! the chilli oil and crispy onions elevate it so much, though I agree with other comments to say adding some veggies is good :)

    Really enjoyed this! I used Thai red curry paste instead and added some spinach as recipe has no veggies.

    switched out chicken for prawns, rice for udon noodles, green beans and skipped the coriander and was still delicious!

    Beautiful and easy recipe! Added some veggies (inspo from the comments) which helped bulk it up to roughly 10-12 portions rather than 8! Also couldn’t find yellow curry paste, used red instead - just added some curry powder and turmeric. One lime and was enough for 8 portions and half the amount of suggested water helps.

    Love this one! I do my chicken in the air fryer and it makes it so tender! Also add some green beans and spinach to get some veg in there, and use light coconut milk for slightly fewer calories. This has become one of our favourites now!

    this method is clearly missing sowm steps right? like it says a splash of coconut milk curry paste and seasoning makes a broth... like I pay for this

    really delicious recipe! first recipe since joining, easy to make and quick. I’d like to add maybe a vegetable, pakchoy or something for more nutrition and maybe try skin on chicken to crisp it up a little- I saw a comment using honey which might help,

    Wowee.. This is my first recipe made since joining MOB. It was quick and easy to prepare and tasted delicious! I did use Red Thai paste, as I already had that, plus I like a bit spicier. Will definatley be making this again.
