How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh, quality chicken breasts
- When buying, press the chicken breast with your hand to feel the elasticity. Fresh meat will bounce back well and not leave fingerprints.
- Fresh and delicious chicken breasts usually have a pink color, and the surface is slightly shiny, making them very appealing. In contrast, meat that is dark red or white is a sign that it has been stored for a long time, with significantly reduced nutritional content, and should definitely not be purchased.
- You should buy from reputable food stores or large supermarkets. If buying chicken breasts at traditional markets, pay attention to choose from reputable stalls that ensure food hygiene.
- Avoid purchasing if the chicken breast has a spoiled smell, or feels slightly slimy when touched.
How to choose fresh sweet potatoes
- Fluffy, sweet, and fragrant sweet potatoes often have a layer of powder or dirt on the outside. When cutting one end, you will see a light orange color inside, with white sap flowing out.
- You should choose intact sweet potatoes without black spots or blemishes, as these are signs of spoilage. It is best to buy medium-sized sweet potatoes for the best taste and nutritional quality.
- Avoid buying overly large sweet potatoes as they will have more fiber, and do not purchase those that are bruised or show signs of spoilage.
How to Prepare Chicken Breast Curry

Prepare the Ingredients
After buying the chicken breast, remove the skin (you can keep it if you like) and wash it thoroughly. Then, use a knife to cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and drain the water.
Peel the sweet potato and cut it into small pieces. To prevent the sweet potato from turning dark, you should peel it under a tap water. Soak the cut sweet potato in a bowl of diluted saltwater until ready to cook, then rinse with clean water.
Wash the lemongrass, slice it thinly, and then mince it. Peel the garlic, mince it, and set aside.
-
Marinate the Chicken
Add the prepared chicken breast to a bowl and marinate with a mixture of spices including 1 spoon of curry powder, 1/2 of the minced lemongrass, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder. Marinate for about 15 minutes for the meat to absorb the spices.
-
Sauté chicken briefly
You add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil to a pan, then heat the oil and add minced lemongrass and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic and lemongrass are fragrant and golden.
Continue to add the marinated chicken breast and sauté quickly over high heat for about 5 minutes until the surface of the meat is firm.
