Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/3 cup yellow curry paste, tightly packed. Use less for a milder version, and adjust with more at the end.
- 8.5 ounce coconut cream (1 small carton)
- 1 lb chicken breast cubed into bite-size pieces
- 2 cup gold potatoes, cubed into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cup yellow or sweet onion, chopped 1-2 inches long
- 1/2 cup bamboo strips or slices, soak and rinse before use
- 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup water (Use the empty coconut milk can scoop out even more coconut milk for flavors)
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
Instructions
- 1
In a soup pot or a medium-sized Dutch oven, heat the oil to medium-high.

Add the coconut cream to the pot and stir well together. Wait for the sauce to boil before adding more ingredients to the pot to help extract the flavors from the curry paste and coconut cream.
- 3
Add chicken, potatoes, onion, and bamboo. Stir together well and cook for 4-5 minutes.
- 4
Add the entire container of coconut milk to the pot and stir well together. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Add the brown sugar and fish sauce, and stir well. Cook for 1 minute before adding water next.
- 6
Add the water using the emptied coconut can or cartoon. I like to get all the coconut milk out from those empty containers and get that little extra flavor. (: Cook for 2-3 more minutes until the potatoes are soft.

Adjust the flavor here. If your curry is too salty, add a small amount of sugar and stir well. If too sweet, add a touch of salt or fish sauce to your liking. Remove from the stovetop and let cool for 10 minutes before serving over rice. Enjoy!
