Ingredients

2 cups dry jasmine rice
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 Tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp of fish sauce
1 Tbsp minced gingeroot
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 cups 1-inch pieces asparagus

Cook rice as per the directions on the package.

In a medium size bowl, combine the chicken, curry powder, cumin, chili powder and a little bit of salt; toss to coat.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil, fish sauce, ginger and garlic over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, stirring frequently, over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink.

Mix in the asparagus, snow peas, carrots and green onions; cook for 3 minutes.

Pour in the coconut milk, lime juice and Thai green curry paste and continue cooking until sauce is hot, and chicken is cooked through.
