Red Thai Chicken Curry With Pumpkin And Beans Recipes

THAI RED CURRY WITH CHICKEN

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 THAI CHICKEN CURRY WITH PUMPKIN AND BEANS

Steps:

• Remove all excess fat from chicken thighs.
• Dice chicken into 2-3 cm pieces.
• Peel pumpkin, dice into 2X3 cm pieces.
• Wash beans, cut off tail ends.
• Cut beans into 4-5cm pieces (typically just halve them).
• Heat oil in wok then add the curry paste and shallots, cook, stirring for about 2 minutes or until fragrant.
• Add chicken, stir in fish sauce, stir-fry until just starts to be tender. You may add a little water, but you'll find that the chicken pieces release enough water to cook them.
• Chicken should be nearly cooked when you add the pumpkin pieces and 100 ml water. Simmer for 3-5 minutes covered, then add green beans. Simmer for a further five minutes. Make sure neither the pumpkin, nor the beans become too soft. The beans should stay slightly crunchy.
• Stir in coconut milk/cream. Raise heat until just to boil. Simmer uncovered until the mixture is heated through.
• Shred some coriander leaves -- place some on the surface of the red curry, save the rest for garnish on serving.
