Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ lb white fish
3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste (divided)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
½ medium onion (finely minced)
2 tablespoons finely minced ginger
3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
15 ounce can coconut milk
½ cup water
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon coconut or brown sugar
4 cups chopped veggies (pictured are green beans, carrots, and red bell peppers)
Minced cilantro and lime juice (to serve)

Steps:

  • Cut the fish into pieces about 2-inches wide. Dry the fish with a paper towel then rub 1 tablespoon of the curry paste over the pieces.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. (See notes.) Add the onion, ginger, and garlic and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of curry paste, coconut milk, water, fish sauce, and sugar. Add the veggies and bring the pot to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the fish. Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes, or until the fish is no longer opaque. If your fish is quite thick, you may need to flip the pieces over and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  • Serve with a little minced cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

THAI FISH CURRY - KAENG PED PLA / OR TOFU



Thai Fish Curry - Kaeng Ped Pla / or Tofu image

I have tried many thai curries over the years, and they have all been 'OK', but never quite got that authentic flavour or feel. And then other recipes have just scared me away with incredibly long lists of ingredients. I think this is a nice compromise. It is well worth marinating, it only takes a minute to throw the marinade together, then putting it all together later does not take long at all. I have made it with fish and followed the recipe to a T, with beautiful results. I have also subbed tofu and had good results. This recipe does not traditionally call for any veg to be included, it's meant to be simple. I often do add one vegetable such as red bell pepper or bok choi though, otherwise I serve with a salad. If you do add a veg, be careful not to add too much or you take away from the sauce and lose some of that soupy consistency. Keep it simple If you really wanted to add more veg I would double up on the sauce ingredients. Most of the ingredients are pretty main stream these days, my local grocery store carries it all, and certainly any Asian grocery store would. Hope you enjoy, this recipe came from a Thai food and lifestyle cookbook that was given to me as a gift.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lime, juice of
4 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons thai soy sauce, or sub regular soy sauce or tamari is OK
1 fresh red chili pepper, seeded and chopped, fresh is best but sub 1/4-1/2 tsp chile powder if you have to
12 oz/ 350 g white fish, cubed
12 oz/ 350 g salmon fillets, skinned and cubed
1 cake tofu, cubed firm, instead of fish if you prefer
1 3/4 cups coconut milk (I just use one can of lite coconut milk)
3 kaffir lime leaves
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 stalk lemongrass, white part only, chopped finely, or use about 1-2 tsp of the fresh pre-minced type you can get in tu
2 cups jasmine rice, or brown basmati if you prefer
4 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 pinch or two brown sugar
1 red bell pepper, or other veg, cut into thin strips
2 -3 tablespoons pistachio nuts, roasted as optional garnish
3 -4 tablespoons mangoes, or other tropical fruit, diced finely, as optional garnish

Steps:

  • The Marinade, prepare at least 1-2 hours before, or even overnight:.
  • Combine the lime juice, HALF of the fish sauce, and the soy sauce in a shallow non-metallic dish.
  • Add the chile and the fish (or tofu), stir or use your hands to coat. Cover and let chill for 1-2 hours, or overnight. (If the fish or tofu is not fully immersed, turn the pieces part way through marinating).
  • Ready to cook:.
  • Start your rice as per package directions. Depending on the sort you are using, the cooking time will vary.
  • Add the curry paste to a med hot pan, warm it up a bit and then add the coconut milk, the lime leaves, the remaining fish sauce and the lemon grass. Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the fish, the marinade and red bell pepper or other veg if you're using one. Let it all simmer together for about 5 minutes, until the fish (or tofu) and veg are cooked. If you need to have this sit for longer, be sure not to add the veg too early or they will be over cooked.
  • At this point you may want to add a pinch of brown sugar if it tastes too sour or salty.
  • Stir the chopped fresh cilantro through the hot boiled rice.
  • Serve the curry with the rice, garnish the curry with pistachio nuts and/or chopped mango if you like -- it adds a nice touch.

THAI FISH CURRY

Kaffir and Galanga can be found in Asian grocers. Kaffir, which has a similar taste to lime, gives a heavenly flavor that is definitely Thai. The galanga is very similar to ginger, and also adds a Thai touch. Monkfish is said to be the poor man's lobster; it has a texture similar to it, but I can guarantee lobster will be the last thing on your mind when you taste this delectable curry.
