THE SECRET TO THAI RED CURRY

THAI RED CURRY WITH CHICKEN✨ skip takeout and bring the delicious, comforting flavors of Thai curry to life right in your kitchen using one simple, authentic method that makes all the difference! I recently learned the authentic Thai way of making curry at a Thai cooking class led my chef Jam at @thaifresh and I'm HOOKED on one simple trick she taught us to bring out bold curry flavors — details in voiceover and below!

Ingredients:
1 cup rice, rinsed
2 1/2 cups water, divided
1/2 tsp salt
(2) 13.5 oz cans full fat coconut milk
(1) 4 oz jar red curry paste*
1 1/2 pounds chicken, cut into bite-size pieces
2 large carrots, cut into 1/2 inch rounds
1 small crown of broccoli, cut into florets
1 large bell pepper, cut into large chunks
3 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp coconut sugar
1 cup torn basil leaves (preferably Thai basil if you can find it)

For the Rice:
Add your rice, 2 cups of water, and salt to a small saucepan and bring to a boil
Reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes
Fluff with a fork before serving
For the Curry:
Heat a large skillet over medium and add only the cream from the top half of both cans of coconut milk
Bring the cream to a gentle boil and boil for 1 minute
Add the curry paste and mix until just combined then turn the heat down to a simmer and simmer until the coconut cream begins to release some oil and there are red streaks in the mixture, about 3-5 minutes, stirring infrequently
Add the chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes
Add the remainder of the cans of coconut milk and 1/2 cup water and bring to a gentle boil
Add the veggies, stirring to incorporate, and cook for another 3-5 minutes
Add the fish sauce and coconut sugar and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Taste and add more fish sauce or coconut sugar to your preference
Add the basil leaves and cook for 1-2 more minutes
Remove from heat and serve over warm rice
Enjoy!

*My favorites are @mikeorganicfoods and @mekhalaliving. If you are sensitive to spice, @thaikitchen is very mild (though I think it also has a weak flavor so its not my fave)

Ooh cool! I’ve never started with the coconut cream first, and will try this the next time too! Do you have any tips on when to add the veggies so that they are all cooked to the right consistency when the dish is done cooking?

This is how you make Thai curry from scratch, proceeds to use store bought curry paste.
Tell me you are white, without telling me you are white 😂

That's too watery. But I bet it's still good
