Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 8-ounce package brown rice pad thai or stir-fry noodles
1/4 cup Thai red curry paste
1 14-ounce can light coconut milk
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 cups peeled chopped butternut squash (1-inch pieces)
2 cups haricots verts, trimmed and halved
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fish sauce
Kosher salt

Fresh basil and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles as the label directs. Drain and set aside.

Stir in the coconut milk, ginger and brown sugar. Increase the heat to high and bring to a vigorous simmer. Stir in the squash, haricots verts and bell pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the squash is just tender and the beans and bell pepper are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.

SCRUMPTIOUS THAI COCONUT RED CURRY



Scrumptious Thai Coconut Red Curry image

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.

COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU



Coconut Red Curry With Tofu image

This simple weeknight red curry relies on jarred or canned red curry paste for flavor, which you can find at larger supermarkets and specialty markets. Transfer leftover canned curry paste to a jar, top it with a little oil and store in the refrigerator for up to a month. Or freeze for longer storage. Feel free to substitute other vegetables for the mushrooms and snow peas, though you might have to increase the cooking time slightly if using something dense like carrot or cubed winter squash.

COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU



Coconut Red Curry with Tofu image

This recipe is delicious and something I worked on perfecting over a couple years' time. Feel free to adjust it to your preference, using tofu or chicken (I've done both, but I think the tofu absorbs the sauce better), add the veggies you want, and adjust the red curry paste and Golden Mountain® sauce to your preference. Best served over white jasmine or basmati rice or vermicelli noodles.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups water
1 cup jasmine rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
2 medium carrots, chopped, or more to taste
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
3 medium green onions, chopped, or more to taste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon seasoning sauce (such as Golden Mountain®)
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk, or as needed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed according to package directions, 20 to 25 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and cook until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, bell pepper, and green onions and cook until vegetables are tender and tofu is browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While the tofu and vegetables are cooking, combine soy sauce, seasoning sauce, red curry paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, and oyster sauce in a small bowl until well blended.
  • Pour 1/2 of the coconut milk over tofu-vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Mix in sauce mixture until combined. Add as much coconut milk until the mixture is about half liquid and half tofu and vegetables; you may not need all the coconut milk. Cook for 5 minutes until everything is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  • Serve curry over jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Tips:

  • To make the best red curry paste, use fresh ingredients and roast the spices over a low flame until fragrant.
  • When making the coconut-scallion rice, be sure to use high-quality jasmine rice and coconut milk for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tofu. If you do, the tofu will steam instead of fry and won't get crispy.
  • Add the vegetables to the curry sauce in stages, starting with the vegetables that take the longest to cook. This will ensure that all the vegetables are cooked evenly.
  • Serve the Thai tofu red curry sauce over coconut-scallion rice immediately after it's made for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

This Thai tofu red curry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy coconut-scallion rice is the perfect accompaniment to the spicy curry sauce. Try it and enjoy the delicious taste of Thai cuisine in your own home.
