My husband loves, loves, LOVES curry - be it Indian, Thai, or anything else. Well, a sushi restaurant near his job serves this delicious, spicy, and sweet red curry. I have been trying to figure out how to do it. And now I have. This recipe tastes exactly how the restaurant stuff does, and it comes together in close to 20 minutes.

SCRUMPTIOUS THAI COCONUT RED CURRY

This is one of my favorites dish to make...and what my DH calls my "signature dish." It's easy, yummy, and healthy! I loosely based the recipe off instructions on a bottle of Thai Kitchen red curry paste. Rice expressions has an organic frozen short grain rice package that is perfect with this dish. I often sub in pan fried firm tofu instead of the chicken...and certainly you can mix up the veggies with what you have on hand. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk (I use light)
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/4 cup bamboo shoot
2 -3 teaspoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup mushroom
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 green pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
1/2 onion (yellow or white)
2 chicken breasts (optional)
10 ounces brown rice

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan combine 1/2 to Tbsp Red Curry paste (I like it spicy -- so I use 1 Tbsp) with one can of coconut milk. (I use light coconut milk to save calories/fat).
  • Simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup fresh basil, 1/4 cup bamboo shoots, 3 tsp Fish Sauce, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/3 cup chicken stock, and 1/2 cup of your favorite mushrooms (I use the Japanese style and shitake). Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While you are simmering -- saute the chopped peppers (1 or 2 inch pieces) and chopped onion in a frying pan or wok lightly covered in olive oil. Fry lightly peppered chicken breasts till cooked through.
  • Place sauteed peppers and onions on bowls of rice and spoon curry sauce over rice. You can either use curry sauce to lightly flavor rice or more as a soupy type mixture. I use short grain brown rice -- but any type is fine. Add cut chicken breast or other meat/tofu if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your curry will taste. If possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste: If you like your curry spicier, add more chili peppers or red curry paste. If you prefer a milder curry, use less chili peppers or paste.
  • Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the curry with your favorite sides: Rice, noodles, or vegetables are all good options.
