This spicy meal is great when you’re in a hurry, It can be made with chicken, shrimp, scallops or tofu. Can be made as spicy or mild.
Difficulty: Medium
Total Time: 30min
Serving: 4-6 people and can be easily doubled
Ingredients:
2 Can of Coconut Milk (high quality)
Red Curry Paste
Fish Sauce, Approx 2 tsp
Sweet Chili Sauce, Approx 1 tbsp
3-4 Keffir Lime Leaves, centre stem removed and the leaves sliced thinly
1-2 Lemon Grass shoot, ends removed, layers separated and cut in half
1 Fresh Red Chili Pepper, seeds and membrane removed pepper sliced thinly
1 small can bamboo shots, drained
1 small can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 can of baby corn, drained
Chicken, Prawns, Scallops, Tofu or Cooked Shrimp (I like to use cooked shrimp it is fast, easy and tasty)*
2 Red Bell Pepper sliced in thin long slices
* I don’t have amounts for the ‘meat’ portion of the dinner as when I use chicken I usually use one small breast per person cut into small cubes, cooked shrimp a pound or so, it depends how much you want)
Instructions:
In a large thick bottomed sauce pan, pour coconut milk. Squeeze about 4-5 inches of red curry paste (1/2 inch diameter) into the pan and whisk until it is smooth and orangy. Now here is the tricky part, Add the fish sauce and sweet chili sauce.
Add Keffir Lime leaves, chili pepper and lemon grass, taste it now to ensure you have a good taste, you may need to add fish sauce or sweet chili, this is why I always do the seasoning before adding the meat so that I can taste it to make sure it is right,
Turn on heat to low, we never want the curry to boil we want it to be at a simmer at most. add the water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. If cooking with chicken add it now, if cooking with prawns or scallops add them in 10 min if cooking with cooked shrimp add them in 15 min. Simmer on low until the meat is cooked, then add the red peppers simmer for 10 min.
Serving Instructions:
Remove the lemon grass, and spoon the curry onto a bed of thai basmati rice
I truly appreciate your piece of work, Great post.
Rattling excellent visual appeal on this web site, I’d value it 10.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
I got hosting with Hey Tommy it was really easy and included with the hosting package they have wordpress and all sorts of other stuff so I searched around for a wordpress template that fit my needs and started building from there, The template was $35 and the hosting first month is free. It was pretty easy and cheap, just too awhile to get everything the way I wanted it. If you do sign up with them use referral code 751

I’m having a small annoyance. I cannot subscribe to your rss feed for some reason. I’m using google reader by the way.
I have just added RSS this morning, it should now work with all RSS readers, thank you for your interest.
Awesome looking website. I recently built mine and I was looking for some ideas for my site and you gave me a few. May I ask you whether you developed the website by youself?
It’s a WordPress template hosted with Hey Tommy. It’s pretty easy to manage everything between their admin panel (for stats, emails and pretty much everything) and the wordpress admin panel that I update my site with. If you do end up using Hey Tommy, use referral code 751
