Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add curry powder and onion, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add chicken cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until surface turns opaque and edges brown slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in coconut milk, add fish sauce and lemongrass. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium and cook 8 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Step 4
Taste and adjust salt or fish sauce. Remove lemongrass pieces. The curry should be glossy and aromatic.
Step 5
Serve curry over blue pea rice in shallow bowls. Top each bowl with a halved boiled egg and a handful of crushed peanuts.
