Pounding thoroughly between each addition to break down and incorporate ingredients into a coarse paste (3 to 4 minutes of pounding per addition), add in the following order: shallots and garlic; Thai chiles and makrut lime leaves. It should take about 10 minutes total to pound ingredients into a coarse paste, with visible pieces of chile and makrut lime leaf.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For the Curry:\u00a0<\/strong>Season chicken with salt; set aside.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>In a 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add curry paste and, using a rubber spatula, stir vigorously to combine, scraping sides of the saucepan to fully incorporate paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken, stir to coat with paste, and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is pale white and opaque on all sides, about 2 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add chicken stock and galangal and bring to a rapid simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and tender, about 10 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add eggplant, pla ra (if using), and fish sauce. Continue to cook, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a rapid simmer, until eggplant is just cooked through but still have some bite to them, about 3 minutes. Add cabbage and yu choy, stir to combine, and cook until vegetables are barely tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add khao kua, dill, makrut lime leaves, and scallions. Stir until incorporated and herbs are slightly wilted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer curry to a large serving bowl or divide between individual bowls. Serve immediately with cooked sticky rice or jasmine rice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients For the Curry Paste: For the Curry: Directions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[171],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soup-thai-food-recipes"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Gaeng-Om-Gai.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4511"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4513,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4511\/revisions\/4513"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
