Method
Heat the oil in a large wok or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the lemongrass, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes; season with salt. Add curry paste and tomato paste and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cook, about 5 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add the chicken and gently simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is tender and sauce thickens to a creamy consistency, about 10 minutes. Stir in green beans and mango, cover, and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, under beans are tender-crisp.
Remove from the heat, add the fresh chili, (enoki mushrooms, if using) squeeze in the lime juice and season to taste.
Spoon over rice and top with cilantro and basil; serve with lime wedges. Enjoy!
