05 - 1-3 tablespoons red curry paste (Thai-style)
06 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
07 - 3 finely chopped garlic cloves
08 - 2-3 teaspoons ground ginger powder
09 - 2 teaspoons coriander powder

10 - 1-1.5 cups of grated carrots
11 - 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
12 - 1 (13-ounce) can of coconut milk

→ For Serving

16 - Serve with quinoa, rice, or naan (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Put the oil in a big pan and warm it over medium heat. Toss in the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it's softened.
02 - Add the chicken pieces and stir them around. Let them cook through, roughly 5 minutes.
03 - Mix in the garlic, ginger, and coriander. Let it cook for about a minute until it smells amazing.
04 - Pour in the coconut milk, toss in carrots, curry paste, salt, and pepper. Let it bubble gently for 5 minutes so it thickens a little.
05 - Toss in spinach and lime juice, letting the spinach wilt. Add brown sugar if you want and adjust flavors as needed.

# Notes:

01 - Curry paste can be swapped with curry powder if needed.
02 - It stays fresh in the fridge for up to 7 days.
03 - Lite or regular coconut milk both work fine for this.
