Ingredients:

Serving

1 onion, roughly chopped
3 lemongrass, stalks finely sliced (discard outer leaves first)
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 inch gingerroot, peeled and finely chopped
3 green chilies , thai hot chillies preferably
1 lime , zested and juiced
2 tbsp peanut oil
2 tbsp fish sauce
6 tbsp fresh cilantro
6 tbsp fresh basil
1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless , cut into thin strips
1/2 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed , then cut in half
14 oz light coconut milk

Directions:

Use a high-quality food processor - you want a paste, not a finely-chopped salsa.
Into the food processor, put: onion, lemon grass, garlic, ginger, green chillies, lime zest, lime juice, half of the peanut oil (1 tbsp), fish sauce, cilantro, and basil.
Process to a smooth paste. Add a little water if necessary.
Heat a wok or a large frying pan with the remaining 1 tbsp peanut oil. When very hot, add the chicken and stir-fry 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken starts to turn golden-colored.
Add the green beans and stir-fry one more minute. Remove chicken and green beans to a plate or bowl.
Put paste into wok and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. The raw onions in the paste will ruin the flavor, so make sure onion is fully cooked before moving on. Taste regularly to check.
When paste no longer has raw-onion flavor, stir in coconut milk and mix well.
Add chicken and green beans, stir to coat, and simmer (uncovered) for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
