Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp oil (for sautéing)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cups cubed chicken thighs or chicken breast (about 2 chicken thighs)
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 3 medium potatoes, cubed
-
1 jar Red Boat’s Lemongrass Curry Sauce
- Cornstarch slurry: 2-3 Tbsp cornstarch, 4-6 Tbsp water (enough to thicken the sauce)
-
1 Tbsp Red Boat fish sauce
- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In an oven-safe pan, heat oil over medium heat and sauté diced onions until translucent.
- Add cubed chicken, cooking until it develops a slight color. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in chopped carrots and potatoes. Season again with salt and pepper.
- Pour in Red Boat’s Lemongrass Curry Sauce (shake the jar before adding) and stir. Add the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Stir in fish sauce for additional seasoning.
- Turn off the heat and let the filling cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Once the filling has cooled, drape the puff pastry sheet over the pan, making four small holes to let the steam escape while baking. (If you prefer, you can add a bottom crust as well.)
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the pastry with egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
