from travelling all over Europe that needs to be addressed.

Method

  • Add the shallots and garlic.
  • Sauté the shallots and garlic until light brown, making sure to stir constantly to prevent burning.

  • Continue to stir.
  • Just before the chicken is cooked through stir in the coconut milk, sugar, fish sauce, stock powder and white pepper.

  • Serve immediately with steamed rice.
