1 cn unsweetened coconut milk

*/Instructions/*

Combine yellow curry paste, turmeric, palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice
and oil. Toss meat strips with marinade and marinate for minimum of 2
hours in refrigerator or better overnight.
Thread individual meat strips onto the skewers, weaving in-and-out, in
a ribbon fashion. Make meat strips lay flat on skewer.

TO PREPARE COCONUT MILK AND CREAM: Pour 1 can unsweetened coconut milk
into a tall glass. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour so the thick cream
rises to the top. Skim off top (cream) and set aside. The rest is thin
coconut milk.

Finding Thai yellow curry paste was a PITA but I have a sure supply since
I found it at a small "all cuisine" market!

I use sweet and sour dipping sauce. Peanut sauce is OK, but not my fav.

The only thing wrong is the saltiness of the fish sauce. I cut it in half
but some of the flavor is lost. Is all thai fish sauce so salty?!?

Bon apetit,

Andy

Use more lime juice...counter balances the saltyness of the fish sauce.

Thanks for sharing Andy...that sounds really tastey, I have everything
except for the yellow curry paste. 'Tis the only Thai curry paste not
in my fridge right now. Running to the Asian markets is on the near
future to do list, I need to find some more dashi and none of the local
shops carry it. Might try it with some Kaffir lime leaves added in if I
can get my paws on some.

Jess,

You're welcome!

It is a mouthwatering recipe, just don't be put off by the almost putrid
smell of the marinated chicken, it cooks up delicious! Hope you enjoy it.

I have green thai curry paste in the fridge. Could I use that?

Elaine,

I don't see why not, with the exception that the yellow curry and the
tumeric impart a beautiful yellow to the chicken. Using the green curry
and the tumeric together, you might end up with some shade of blue
chicken!??

I can't vouch for any flavor difference, as I'm unfamiliar with the
green.

Let us know!!!

Why would that happen? When mixing colours, blue and yellow make green. Green
and yellow do not make blue.
