Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Add a light drizzle of sesame oil to the pan then add the shallot and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the garlic, ginger, and chilli, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the green curry paste and cook for another 30 seconds.
Pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock, sugar, and fish sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and leave to thicken slightly, about 10 minutes.
Add the cubes of chicken, kaffir lime leave, red pepper and bamboo shoots, simmer until chicken is cooked through, 10-15 minutes.
Finally, stir in the lime juice. Serve curry with rice.
