Yellow Curry Chicken

Thai curries are usually quickly and easily prepared.
This one is especially popular with families with busy lifestyles.
bullet2 tablespoons oil
bullet1 medium onion, sliced pole-to-pole
bullet1/4 cup garlic, chopped
bullet3 cups (24 fl oz/750 ml) coconut milk
bullet1 lb (500 g) boned chicken, sliced
bullet3 tablespoons yellow curry powder
bullet1/4 cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) fish sauce
bullet2 tablespoons sugar

Heat a large skillet or wok then add the oil, onion and garlic.
Stir-fry the onion and garlic until almost golden brown, then remove and set aside.
Pour the coconut milk into the pan, heat to boiling and add the chicken.
(I stir-fry the chicken first and set it aside; then I begin following the recipe.)
Reheat to boiling and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients, including the fried onion and garlic, and simmer for 1 minute.
Place the mixture in a serving bowl and serve with steamed rice.
