A red curry made with coconut milk. This goes well with chicken, beef, pork, or just veggies! For this recipe I used chicken, but adjust according to taste. Serve with sticky rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste, or more to taste

  • 2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed

  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce

  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Thai seasoning (Optional)

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (Optional)

  • 1 stalk lemongrass, bottom third only, peeled and minced

  • ¼ cup Thai basil leaves, torn into bite-size pieces

Directions

  1. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-low heat. Add curry paste; fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in coconut milk. Bring to a slow boil. Stir in chicken, fish sauce, brown sugar, Thai seasoning, and garlic. Simmer until sauce starts to thicken and chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  2. Stir red bell pepper into the wok; cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemongrass and basil; stir to distribute flavors, about 1 minute.

Cook's Note:

You do not want to boil it so much that an orange oil appears on top; reduce the heat if this happens.

If you are scaling this recipe up or down, count on using 1 can of coconut milk for every 2 to 3 chicken breasts.
