Open in Pepper →A Spoonful Of Red Curry Paste Changes Dinner
A jar of red curry paste and a can of coconut milk turn plain chicken, shrimp, or steak into something that tastes like you fussed. You didn't. You stirred.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights everyone's tired of the same skillet chicken, when there's rice or noodles in the pantry and about 30 minutes to work with.
Every recipe here leans on that same base: Chicken Thai Noodles with Red Curry, One-Pan Red Curry Dumplings, Salmon Thai Red Curry, Thai Red Curry Chicken Meatballs, Shrimp Dumplings in Red Curry Broth, and a slow-cooker Coconut Curry Chicken for the mornings you plan ahead.
Quick Tips
- 1
Fry the paste first
Cook 2 tablespoons of red curry paste in hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes before adding liquid. It smells completely different once it blooms.
- 2
Use full-fat coconut milk
One 13.5-ounce can of full-fat coconut milk keeps the sauce from breaking or tasting thin. Light versions water it down.
- 3
Add greens at the end
Stir in green beans or zucchini during the last 4 to 5 minutes so they stay bright and have a little bite.
- 4
Balance with lime and sugar
Finish with a squeeze of lime and about a teaspoon of sugar or fish sauce, tasting as you go until it's not flat.
