Method
 

Marinating and Cooking
  1. Whisk together coconut milk, soy sauce, red curry paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, curry powder, salt, and white pepper in a medium bowl. Add your chicken strips, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
