This recipe was created and named by Keo Sananikone, for his Thai restaurant, Mekong, located in Hawaii. Keo's recipes are some of my favorite ones in Thai cuisine. This dish has graced the pages of Bon Appetit, Food and Wine, Bazaar, and both the Los Angeles and New York Times. I can't wait to give it a whirl!

Evil Jungle Prince was the first Thai dish I ever made, and was so good that we went into the kitchen and made another batch to eat right then and there! These days I make it with tofu, but chicken tastes better.

EVIL JUNGLE PRINCESS THAI RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Evil Jungle Princess Thai Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by lululem83

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon lemon grass paste
1/4 cup Thai fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce, add more if you wish
1 to 2 tablespoon red curry paste, to your taste.
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon
1 can coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon Red Hunan chile sauce, optional
Rice noodles
1 sweet yellow onion, sliced in 2" slender pieces
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, or tender beef, cooked
1 lime
1 cup mushrooms sliced
1 red pepper, sliced in 2" slender pieces
1 cup sweet peas
1 cup broccoli, cut into small florets
1 can corn or baby ear corn

Steps:

  • Combine first 11 ingredients into small pot and simmer to keep warm. Add as much or as little of the curry to desired taste. I typically measure nothing. Just add until I get my desired taste. Prepare rice noodles according to directions on package. Sauté onions and and sliced chicken in pan with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and lime juice to taste. Slice and prepare all vegetables. Sauté mushrooms until desired tenderness in a little oil, add all the rest of the vegetables. Sauté. Keep them crunchy. Do not over cook them. 2 minutes before you are ready to serve, add the chicken or beef to the veggies. Stir to warm. Place desired noodle in bowl. Add veggies and chicken. Pour sauce over top. Note: I had to double the sauce ingredients in order to make enough sauce for my liking, this fed a family of 4 with plenty leftovers. Note: Skip the hassle of all fresh vegetable prep and save time with two bags of frozen stir fry or thai veggies of your liking.
