Categories     main-dish

Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 shallots, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 1/2 teaspoons red curry paste*, or 2 teaspoons curry powder (See Cook's Note)
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 1/4 teaspoon, plus more for seasoning

THAI-STYLE BUTTERNUT SQUASH CURRY



Thai-Style Butternut Squash Curry image

A simple and spicy curry that tastes great with steamed sticky rice, wide noodles, or naan bread. Serve with a dollop of mozzarella (burrata, if you have it) to cut the spicy. Or serve plain. Very easy to make ahead and makes a great lunch! Trust your gut with seasonings; you can always add more as you go on and cooking will deepen the flavors. Curry will thicken as it cools.

THAI STYLE FRIED RICE... WITH A CURRY FLAVOR, HMMM!!!



Thai Style Fried Rice... With a Curry Flavor, Hmmm!!! image

My husband once had this Thai fried rice that was not only spicy-hot, but had a distinct curry flavor. After visiting a Thai restaurant in Jacksonville and him exclaiming "That's it!" I knew I had to try and replicate it. We like things spicy-hot, so adjust chilies and red curry paste according to your taste buds!!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 cups of cold steamed jasmine rice
3 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 fresh red chili pepper, seeded and sliced
1 -2 fresh green chile (I use serrano)
1 -2 tablespoon Thai red curry paste (I use Thai Kitchen brand)
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 pork chops or 1 chicken breast, finely diced
3 -4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb raw shrimp, shelled and de-veined (chopped if large) (optional)
2 eggs, beaten with
pepper, and
1 teaspoon soy sauce (I use Kikkoman brand)
2 -3 tablespoons of thai-style fish sauce (for the saltiness, I usually go easy and then let people add more themselves)
1/8-1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
3/4-1 cup chopped green onion, including tops
according to your taste chopped fresh cilantro (coriander) or chopped fresh basil (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Be sure rice is completely cool, better cold!
  • Heat oil in wok over medium heat and stir-fry onions and chilies until soft.
  • Add the the red curry paste along with the curry powder to the pan and fry until the oil separates from the mixture.
  • Along with the garlic, add pork or chicken and fry until cooked.
  • Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink.
  • Add rice and toss thoroughly until coated with curry mixture and heated through.
  • If your wok is large enough, push rice to side and pour eggs into center. Cook and stir until eggs just start to set, then mix with rice, tossing on high until eggs are cooked. (Cook eggs in small fry pan until they just start to set if wok is not large enough, then add to rice.).
  • Sprinkle pepper and fish sauce evenly over top and lightly toss, remove from heat.
  • Now lightly toss the chopped green onions into the rice.
  • Have the fresh chopped coriander and basil available for personal preferences, along with fish sauce, soy sauce, and Thai-style chili sauce!

THAI-STYLE COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN TACOS



Thai-Style Coconut Curry Chicken Tacos image

This weeknight chicken dish takes advantage of super flavorful jarred curry paste and pairs it with silky coconut milk to create a meal that comes together in just 20 minutes. Each step in this deceptively simple dish coaxes maximum flavor out of relatively few ingredients: Toasting the curry paste in the pan concentrates its taste, searing the chicken in the mixture ensures it's properly coated, and simmering in creamy coconut milk tenderizes the meat. A splash of lime juice and a spoonful of pico de gallo brighten and lighten the rich curry. Fold the mixture into tacos or try the curry chicken as a topping for grain bowls, cauliflower rice, sautéed broccoli or leafy greens.

2 Tbs. canola oil
3 Tbs. fresh lime juice
2 Tbs. fish sauce
2 tsp. light brown sugar

KUA KLING (SOUTHERN THAI-STYLE RED CURRY)



Kua Kling (Southern Thai-Style Red Curry) image

Whereas larb is bright and acidic - light on its feet - this simple adaptation of a traditional Southern Thai dry red curry, is grounding and spicy. It owes much of its flavor to red curry paste, turmeric and fresh chile that have been toasted until they shake awake. For scorching heat (a curry like this is typically brutally hot), add more chile. As the chicken - though it could be ground pork, sliced beef or chicken, or mushrooms - cooks, its fat renders and the fired-up curry paste adheres. Season it with brown sugar and fish sauce, and serve with rice, cabbage, herbs, avocado, cucumber and-or a crisp fried egg.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, curries, poultry, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
1/4 cup Thai red curry paste (ideally one with makrut lime, lemongrass and shrimp paste)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 Thai or serrano chiles, thinly sliced, or to taste
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest, or 10 makrut lime leaves, deveined and thinly sliced
Rice, sliced cabbage, chopped herbs, sliced avocado, chopped cucumber and fried egg, for serving

Steps:

  • In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, warm the oil and toast the curry paste, turmeric and chiles (if using) until extremely fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and lower heat as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Add the chicken and cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon. Stir to coat the meat in the curry paste and to prevent sticking, and cook until the chicken is opaque, 7 to 10 minutes. If everything is sticking, don't panic - just add a little water or neutral oil.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, fish sauce and lime zest, and cook just until the liquid's been absorbed, about 1 minute. Season to taste with more brown sugar and fish sauce. (The chicken should be spicy first, salty second.) Serve at once with desired toppings.
