Directions

  1. Place yam into a large pot and cover with water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.

  3. Increase heat to medium-high, add chicken to the wok and cook until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in coconut milk, chicken broth, and fish sauce, bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in yam, green bell pepper, and onion, simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. Stir spinach and basil gently into the wok. Simmer, covered, until flavors combine, 4 to 5 minutes more.
