- Small Stackable Storage Containers (great for small amounts of spices)
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb chicken stew meat (chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (natural unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 oz cooked rice packet*
Toppings
- cilantro, chopped
- salted peanuts
- green onions, chopped (aka scallions)
Instructions
At Home (optional):
- At home, measure out and store the powdered ginger and garlic together in a small container so you don't have to pack the large spice containers.
At Camp:
- Heat your pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the diced chicken. Cook for a few minutes, mixing occasionally until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
- Add the Thai curry paste, ginger, and garlic. Mix well and cook for a minute. Next add in the soy sauce, peanut butter, and water. Mix well.
- Lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes, mixing frequently. Add a splash more water as needed if the sauce becomes too thick.
- Break up the rice packet before opening. Add the rice to the pot and mix. Cook until the rice is heated throughout.
- Top with fresh cilantro, green onions, and salted peanuts. Enjoy!
Notes
*This might make more than 2 servings for you. My husband eats a lot of protein, so for us, there are no leftovers when I make this meal. You can add more rice to stretch this meal to more servings.
