Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken thighs with olive oil, minced garlic, ginger paste, and soy sauce. Add yellow curry powder, turmeric, coriander, chili powder, coconut milk, salt, pepper, and brown sugar to taste. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Soak wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking. After marination, thread the chicken onto the skewers.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook the chicken skewers for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked, 165°F internal temperature.
  4. Prepare rice or noodles according to package instructions, then layer them in serving bowls. Top with shredded cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, and herbs.
  5. Remove chicken from skewers, slice, and arrange on bowls. Finish with chopped peanuts and lime juice.
