Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
Heat your wok over high heat until smoking. Add a couple tablespoons of oil, and then add the chicken to the pan in one layer. Stir-fry the chicken just until it turns opaque, and remove from the wok. Set aside.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok, and add the onions. Stir-fry for one minute, then stir in the chicken stock, curry powder, turmeric, sugar, and salt to taste.
Combine the remaining 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water and mix until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Stir it into the curry and stock mixture, and simmer for 1 minute, until thickened. If the sauce isn’t thick enough, add more cornstarch slurry. If it’s too thick, add more chicken stock.
Add the cooked chicken back to the wok, and stir for another 30 seconds. Serve with steamed rice.

Recipe Tips And Notes

Don’t cut your potatoes too small or they will fall apart. Waxy potatoes (like Charlotte or red potatoes), rather than floury potatoes (Maris Piper or Russet), are more likely to hold their shape and are what I grab for.

But if you don’t have the choice, go ahead with any potatoes you have potatoes. Floury potatoes that fall apart will help to make the sauce thicker, which may be more what you are looking for.

 

Both skinless boneless chicken thighs or breasts could be used here. I prefer thighs as they are cheaper and add more flavour.

Shrimp or fish could also be used to make this a fish curry. Be careful not to burn the garlic when added along with the onions. Burnt garlic has a bitter taste that can permeate a dish, and not in a good way.

 

Storage And Leftovers

This curry can be frozen and it reheats beautifully. It’s very easy to double the recipe and freeze half of it for the nights when you truly need a takeout because you just can’t imagine cooking!

It can be warmed up in a microwave or on a stovetop over medium-high heat. Add a splash of water if it seems to be a bit too thick.
