Number Of Ingredients 18

5 - 6 tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste ((store bought, Maesri best) (Note 1))
1 quantity homemade Thai Red Curry Paste
2 large garlic cloves (, minced)
2 tsp fresh ginger (, finely grated )
1 tbsp lemongrass paste (or finely chopped fresh (Note 3))
3 tbsp vegetable oil ((or canola or peanut))
1 cup (250 ml) chicken broth/stock (, low sodium)
400 ml / 14 oz coconut milk ((full fat!))
6 kaffir lime leaves ((Note 4))
1 tbsp sugar ((white, brown or palm))
2 tsp fish sauce (, plus more to taste)
350g / 12 oz chicken thighs ((boneless and skinless), cut into 0.75 / 1/3" thick slices (Note 5))
150g / 5 oz pumpkin or butternut squash, ( cut into 1.5cm / 3/5" cubes (~1 heaped cup))
120g / 4oz green beans (, trimmed and cut into 5cm/2" pieces)
12 Thai basil leaves ((Note 6))
Fresh red chilli slices ((small chilli - spicy, large = less spicy))
Fresh coriander / cilantro leaves
Steamed jasmine rice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large heavy based skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add curry paste and Extras (if using jar paste) and cook for about 2 minutes so it "dries out" (See video)
  • Add chicken broth and stir to dissolve paste. Simmer rapidly for 3 minutes or until liquid reduces by half.
  • Add coconut milk, lime leaves, sugar and fish sauce. Stir, then add chicken.
  • Spread chicken out, bring to simmer, then turn heat down to medium. Simmer for about 8- 10 minutes or until Sauce reduces, the chicken is cooked and the sauce is almost at the thickness you want.
  • Do a taste test. Add more fish sauce (or even shrimp paste) to add more saltiness, sugar for sweetness.
  • Add pumpkin and beans, stir. Cook for 3 minutes or until pumpkin is just cooked through and Sauce is thickened - see video for Sauce thickness.
  • Remove from heat. Stir through a handful of Thai basil leaves.
  • Serve over jasmine rice, garnished with fresh red chilli slices and fresh coriander/cilantro leaves, if desired.

Red Curry Steamed Chicken or Fish image

You can use either chicken or fish for this, or equally veggies like courgette, mushrooms etc as a pretty side dish. This makes a fantastic starter to an Asian themed dinner. You'll also need 4 individual bowls for steaming, or foil bowls, or banana leaf cups.

1 cup coconut cream
2 teaspoons rice flour
1 egg, beaten
300 g boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons red curry paste
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons palm sugar
1 cup cabbage, shredded
20 basil leaves
3 tablespoons lime peel, finely shredded

Steps:

  • Put coconut cream & rice flour into a small pot and bring to a boil. Set aside (don't allow this to get cold though).

  • Put the cabbage and then the basil leaves (5 per serving) into the bottom of each little bowl.
  • Divide the chicken (fish or veges) mixture evenly between the 4 bowls (they will be quite full, but don't worry, as the cabbage & chicken cooks this will shrink down), top with the lime peel and steam for 15 minutes (or until chicken is cooked).
