4 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken tenders
1 tablespoon vegetable oil plus additional oil (for frying)
3 tablespoons Thai green or red curry paste
2 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Combine 2 tablespoons fish sauce, garlic, sugar and pepper in medium bowl. Add chicken. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Working in batches, add chicken to pot and deep-fry until cooked through and golden, turning frequently, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer chicken to paper towels.
  • Add spinach puree to sauce. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Place chicken atop steamed rice. Pour sauce over; serve.
