- 50g bamboo shoots, julienned
- 1 tsp. fish sauce, or to taste
- 1/3 tsp. brown sugar or to taste, optional

For Meatballs

- 3 small green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, grated
- 3 tbsp. chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp. fish sauce
- Mix the meatball ingredients together in a bowl and shape into bite-sized balls. They will be sticky, so you might want to oil your hands. It makes around 14 balls.
- In a frying pan, heat the oil and fry the meatballs until brown all over and keep aside.
- Then, add the Thai curry paste from the medium pouch in the kit and cook for 30 seconds. Add the coconut milk from the larger pouch, along with the aromatics from the small spice sachet, both from the kit.
- Add the meatballs, fresh chillies, bamboo shoots, Thai basil leaves, fish sauce and 4 tbsp. water and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasoning and add sugar if you like. Serve hot with extra herbs if you like.
