FISH WITH RED CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Grind dried shrimp in grinder until fluffy, about 1 minute.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook curry paste, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Add coconut milk gradually, whisking until smooth, then add fish sauce and sugar and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Stir in ground shrimp, then remove from heat and keep covered.
• Heat 1 inch oil in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan until it registers 375°F on thermometer. Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt. Dredge in rice flour, shaking off excess, and arrange in 1 layer on a plate.
• Cook beans in oil 30 seconds and transfer to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 375°F and fry fish in 2 batches, turning, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer fish to fresh paper towels to drain. Bring curry sauce to a simmer, then add fish and cook, turning fish gently to coat with sauce, about 1 minute.
• Serve fish curry with long beans scattered on top.

RED COCONUT CURRY WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer veggies to a bowl and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium and add coconut milk, curry paste, brown sugar, and fish sauce to the pan. Whisk together and bring to a gentle boil.
• Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl; whisk to dissolve. Add to sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Pat shrimp dry and add to the sauce along with the cooked veggies. Allow curry to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through and opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with Thai basil and serve with lime wedges.

RED CURRY STEAMED CHICKEN OR FISH

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).
• In a large bowl, put the egg, chicken (fish or veges, if using), red curry paste, soy & oyster sauces and palm sugar, and mix until well combined.
• 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).
• Top with the thickened coconut cream recipe and steam for a further minute. Garnish with finely sliced red chili if desired.
