Instructions

Combine yellow curry paste with chicken broth to dissolve. Then, whisk in the remaining chicken broth, sugar, curry powder, salt, light soy sauce, and coconut milk. Set the mixture aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add oil and heat until shimmering. Stir in chicken, garlic, and ginger, cooking until the chicken starts to brown and the aromatics become fragrant. Add onion and potatoes, toss well, and pour in the sauce mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
