Grate the ginger, finely chop the small red peppers, and use the tender inner parts of the lemongrass stalks.

In a blender, purée them with the spring onions, garlic, Asian basil, cilantro, zest of 1 lime, juice of 2 limes, and 5 tablespoons olive oil to make the green curry paste.

Cut the chicken into large cubes and marinate in half the paste for at least 30 minutes. Reserve the rest.

Heat a wok over high heat with a little olive oil. Stir-fry the chicken cubes for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the rice.

Add the reserved paste and coconut milk to the wok. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in bowls.
