Instructions

  • Prepare all ingredients as listed above.
  • Cook the Rice: Rinse white rice and cook according to package instructions. Once tender, season with salt and pepper. Keep warm, covered.
  • Make the Iced Ginger Tea: Bring water to a simmer in a small pot. Remove from heat and steep ginger tea bags for 10 minutes. Sweeten with sugar or honey to taste. Remove tea bags, cool, and refrigerate until ready to serve over ice.
  • Make the Thai Yellow Curry: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add onion and sauté until softened. Add chicken and cook for 1–2 minutes. Stir in ginger, garlic, and curry powder; sauté for 3 minutes. Pour in 3/4 of the coconut milk and stir. Mix cornstarch with the reserved 1/4 of the coconut milk and add to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Adjust thickness with water if needed. Stir in fish sauce (if using), brown sugar, and lime juice. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
  • Assemble Spring Rolls: Soften rice paper sheets in warm water one at a time. Lay each sheet flat and layer with butter lettuce, carrots, cucumber, jalapeño, scallions, mint, and cilantro. Roll tightly and set aside.
  • Make the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and garlic. Add water gradually until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  • To Serve: Plate the yellow curry with rice. Serve alongside fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce and a glass of iced ginger tea.
