Instructions
1
Prepare the rice according to the package instructions and set aside.
💡
Tip:For extra fluffiness, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until it runs clear before cooking.
2
In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and red curry paste for about 60 seconds until the mixture is deeply fragrant.
💡
Tip:Cooking the curry paste briefly in oil helps to release the essential oils and deepen the flavor profile.
3
Whisk in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer until it starts to thicken slightly.
💡
Tip:If you prefer a thicker, gravy-like consistency, whisk a small amount of cornstarch into a teaspoon of cold water and add it to the sauce.
4
Stir in the chickpeas and spinach. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the chickpeas are heated through and the spinach is tender and wilted.
💡
Tip:Use the back of your spoon to crush a few chickpeas into the sauce; this adds natural body and creaminess.
5
Remove from heat, stir in half of the fresh cilantro, and serve immediately over the prepared rice. Garnish with the remaining cilantro.
💡
Tip:Serve with a side of quick-pickled cucumber salad or a drizzle of chili crunch for added texture.
