  1. Use a high-quality food processor - you want a paste, not a finely-chopped salsa.

  2. Into the food processor, put: onion, lemon grass, garlic, ginger, green chillies, lime zest, lime juice, half of the peanut oil (1 tbsp), fish sauce, cilantro, and basil.

  3. Process to a smooth paste. Add a little water if necessary.

  4. Heat a wok or a large frying pan with the remaining 1 tbsp peanut oil. When very hot, add the chicken and stir-fry 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken starts to turn golden-colored.

  5. Add the green beans and stir-fry one more minute. Remove chicken and green beans to a plate or bowl.

  6. Put paste into wok and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. The raw onions in the paste will ruin the flavor, so make sure onion is fully cooked before moving on. Taste regularly to check.

  7. When paste no longer has raw-onion flavor, stir in coconut milk and mix well.

  8. Add chicken and green beans, stir to coat, and simmer (uncovered) for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
