2 tbsp butter
1 large onion, halved and sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp kosher salt (optional)
2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp minced fresh ginger
3 lbs boneless chicken thighs
1 tbsp minced fresh hot red chili pepper

2 tbsp curry powder
3 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp fish sauce
4 oz unsweetened coconut milk

Directions:

Melt butter in a large skillet on medium heat.
Add half the onion and all of the garlic and cook, until they both begin to soften, about 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add salt, pepper, sugar, ginger and chicken.
Cook until the sugar melts and chicken begins to brown, approximately 15 minutes.
Add the rest of the onion, chile peppers, lemon grass, curry powder, soy sauce, fish sauce (or Worcestershire sauce), and the coconut milk.
Stir, lower heat to medium-low and cover.
Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 10 minutes.
Remove lid and simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken is tender, about 10 more minutes.
Serve warm over a bed of rice noodles, or whatever plain starch you prefer.
