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.

RED CURRY BEEF STEW



Red Curry Beef Stew image

This is based on a recipe from A Taste of Thai's "Red Curry Paste" packet. I've been making this for years (and just last night) and I really love it. I'm planning to make it again next week so will try to get a photo. My only reservation with it now-a-days is that my husband is on a low-sodium diet and I'll need to find a recipe for the red curry paste that has no salt added. When I run out of these packets I'll search for a low-sodium recipe and post an update. Note: be careful with the Thai fish sauce; you may want to go shy of 3 tablespoons if you've never had any before; although I like it, I've found that many people comment on the "fishy" (not in a good way!) taste it adds. I added the carrots, canned corn, and cilantro garnish.
