Pineapple and red bell pepper add sweetness to this Thai-inspired yellow curry. The dish gets its vibrant color from turmeric and coriander in the curry paste. Serve it atop jasmine rice or noodles to soak up every last creamy spoonful. Food coma optional.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Medium Deep Dish

Ingredients

  • ½ lb (225g) boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup (60g) small diced red bell pepper
  • ½ cup (60g) medium diced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon yellow curry paste
  • ½ cup (75g) pineapple, diced
  • ¾ cup (180ml) coconut milk
  • salt, to taste

Preparation

  1. Add all the ingredients to the Anyday dish and mix to combine. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
  2. Cook in the microwave for 6-7 minutes, or until the curry looks thick and reduced.
  3. If you like your sauce slightly thinner, add a splash of stock, coconut milk or lime juice.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • You can replace the chicken with tofu or shrimp. If you can’t find fresh pineapple, you can use canned or frozen (thawed).
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  • Serve with rice or steamed noodles.

Recipe notes

  • This recipe will taste even better the next day.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
