Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Optional: 1 batch crispy baked tofu
Optional: 1 ¼ cups brown jasmine rice or long-grain brown rice, rinsed
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
1 small white or yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
Pinch of salt, more to taste
1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin (1/4" wide) strips
1 yellow, orange or green bell pepper, sliced into thin (1/4" wide) strips
3 carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal into ¼" thick rounds (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 to 2 tablespoons panang curry paste* (use 1 for mild or 2 for spicy)
1 can (14 ounces) regular coconut milk
½ cup water
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce**
1 ½ teaspoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, to taste
Optional garnishes: fresh Thai basil or regular basil, sriracha or chili garlic sauce for extra spice

Steps:

  • If you'd like to serve rice with your curry (optional): Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rinsed rice and continue boiling for 30 minutes, reducing heat as necessary to prevent overflow. Remove from heat, drain the rice and return the rice to pot. Cover and let the rice rest for 10 minutes or longer, until you're ready to serve. Just before serving, season the rice to taste with salt and fluff it with a fork.
  • To make the curry, warm a large skillet with deep sides over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the oil. Add the onion and a sprinkle of salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the bell peppers and carrots. Cook until the bell peppers are easily pierced through by a fork, 3 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and curry paste and cook, while stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add the coconut milk and water, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the peppers and carrots have softened to your liking, about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you're adding crispy tofu, stir it in now.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter, tamari, sugar and lime juice. Add salt, to taste (I usually add a pinch or two). If the curry needs a little more punch, add ½ teaspoon more tamari, or for more acidity, add ½ teaspoon more lime juice.
  • Divide rice and curry into bowls and garnish with fresh basil, if using. If you love spicy curries, serve with sriracha or chili garlic sauce on the side.

AUTHENTIC PANANG CURRY WITH WHITE RICE



Authentic Panang Curry With White Rice image

Spicy Panang Curry is a popular Thai restaurant staple. My favorite is a simplified version made with plain vegetables, but chicken, beef or pork may be added. Add steamed white rice and you have a complete meal. Watch out! This dish tends to be spicy! Note to squeamish: Use a little less curry paste and add a bit more coconut milk to temper the hot!

Categories     Curries

Time 35m

Yield 8 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
1 lb beef or 1 lb pork
1 (16 ounce) bag stir fry vegetables (frozen)
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
4 ounces panang curry paste (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon lemongrass (frozen)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups white rice (steamed)

Steps:

  • Slice meat (if using) into thin slivers. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray, and fry meat until two-thirds done, then remove and set aside.
  • Stir fry vegetables until crisp-done and add to meat.
  • Add 1/4 cup coconut milk to pan and bring to boil. Add 1/2 can of curry paste. Lower heat and mix well.
  • Add meat and vegetables back in and stir until meat is cooked, but tender.
  • Add remaining coconut milk and curry paste. Continue mixing on low heat.
  • Stir in fish sauce, 1/2 of frozen lemongrass, and sugar.
  • Cook an additional few minutes until coconut milk thickens.
  • Serve over white rice and garnish with additional lemongrass flakes.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Try to use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Quality Coconut Milk: Choose high-quality coconut milk for a creamy and flavorful curry. Full-fat coconut milk is the best choice.
  • Brown Sugar: Use brown sugar for a slightly caramelized flavor. You can also use palm sugar or granulated sugar.
  • Fish Sauce: Fish sauce adds a savory and umami flavor to the curry. Use a good quality fish sauce and add it to taste.
  • Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter adds a rich and nutty flavor to the curry. Use natural peanut butter without any added sugars or oils.
  • Simmer Time: Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. You can simmer it for longer if you want a more intense flavor.
  • Serve with Jasmine Rice: Panang curry is traditionally served with jasmine rice. Jasmine rice has a fragrant and slightly sticky texture that pairs well with the curry.

Conclusion:

Panang curry is a delicious and flavorful Thai curry that is easy to make at home.
