Instructions

  • Prepare iced ginger tea: Bring water to a simmer, remove from heat, and steep tea bags for 10 minutes. Sweeten with sugar or honey. Cool, refrigerate, and serve over ice.
  • Cook rice: Rinse thoroughly. Cook according to package instructions. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and keep warm.
  • Prep all ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Make curry: Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-low heat. Sauté onion until softened. Add chicken and cook for 1–2 minutes. Stir in ginger, garlic, and curry powder; sauté 3 minutes. Pour in 3/4 of the coconut milk. Mix cornstarch with reserved coconut milk and add. Bring to a boil, then simmer until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Stir in fish sauce (if using), brown sugar, and lime juice. Simmer for 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
  • Prepare spring rolls: Soften one rice paper sheet at a time in warm water. Lay flat on a towel. Layer with lettuce, carrot, cucumber, jalapeño, scallions, mint, and cilantro. Fold sides over, then roll tightly. Repeat with remaining sheets.
  • Make peanut sauce: Mix peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and garlic. Add water gradually until smooth and creamy.
  • Serve the curry with rice, alongside spring rolls with peanut sauce and iced ginger tea.
