Thai red curry with chicken

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Red curry (Kaeng Phet) gets its colour and fire from dried red chillies. This curry has a fuller, earthier flavour profile than its counterpart made from fresh green chillies. The sweetness of the coconut milk is essential to tame the power of the chilli, creating that creamy, piquant harmony we adore.

Instructions

1 ✓

Dice the chicken, slice the leek, and finely chop the ginger and garlic.

Tip: Wash the leek thoroughly, as there can be soil between the layers.
2 ✓

Heat the oil and toss in the garlic, ginger, and leek. Sauté until soft.

Tip: The aromatic base (sofrito style start) deepens the flavours.
3 ✓

Stir in the red curry paste and fry for 1-2 minutes until it starts to darken in the oil.

Tip: Spices dissolve in oil, not water. This is why you must fry them.
4 ✓

Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a boil, then add the chicken cubes. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Tip: Chicken breast cooks quickly; don't leave it in for hours or it will dry out.
5 ✓

Taste, and season with salt and pepper if necessary (the paste may be salty!).

Tip: Always taste before adding salt.
6 ✓

When serving, sprinkle with chopped spring onion, coriander, and fresh chilli slices.

Recipe FAQ

How spicy is it?
This depends on the curry paste. Red curry is usually moderately hot, but coconut milk dulls it down a lot. If you are afraid of the heat, use less paste.
