Thai lime chicken with rice

This is a very spicy and really fresh dish from Thailand, my mother was there on vacation last year and she really enjoyed their food. She tried this recipe and decided to make it for my family and I when she came home, and now we all eat love thai food.

Ingredients: (3-4)
400 g chicken fillets
carrots
water chestnut
baby corn
parsnip
broccoli
leek
2 ½ dl coconut milk
2 tbs vegetable oil







Spices: 
for this recipe there is a "fast version" if you live in Sweden. The brand "Findus" has a spice mix called "Wok Kaffir Lime" so if you want to simply pour in the spices easily you can use this mix.

if this is not avaiable in your country the mix contains:
brown sugar
salt
ginger
paprika powder
cayenne pepper
coriander
garlic
kaffir lime leaves

Step 1: cut the chicken into small pieces and fry the meat in a pan

Step 2: add the vegetable oil and the spices/spice mix to get the flavour

Step 3: chop up all the vegetables and add them to the chicken

Step 4: add the coconut milk and let it cook for a few minutes

Step 5: boil the rice

My rating of the recipe: 


Time: approximately 45 min. It's quite fast to cook, especially if you use the spice mix because then you dont have to worry about the spices.

Difficulty: This is also easy to make. It can be quite tricky though with all the different spices, but you can just season after your own taste and it should taste great!

Gourmet vs. everyday: This recipe has a very speciall taste, it has a very fresh taste from the lime and a quite strong and spicy flavour. It's very tasteful and suits very well for a nice dinner between some friends or family.
