Subject: MISC: Thai Curry (vegan and chicken versions)
Below is an easy Thai curry recipe (Vegan & Chicken versions). You can
add other things according to your own tastes (holy basil, fish sauce,
chopped hot Thai chiles, lemon grass, galanga, shrimp paste, etc.).
Enjoy! -- Carol
-----------------------
Red or Green Thai Curry
-----------------------
2 T red or green curry paste (use more for hotter curry; Mae Ploy brand
is excellent; if you want vegan, watch out for shrimp paste as an
ingredient in most brands; Curry paste is available in "packets" about
the same size as you've seen for chili, taco, or meatloaf seasoning
mixes, in small cans, and -- my favorite -- in large plastic tubs;
the stuff will store in your refrigerator indefinitely.)
3 T vegetable oil
3/4 lb boneless chicken meat, cut into 3/4-inch pieces OR
1 c tofu, sliced into strips about 1/4-inch thick and 1 to 2 inches
long (if using tofu, try to get the "seasoned" tofu available in the
refrigerated unit at the Asian market; it is soy-sauce colored)
2 cans (unsweetened) coconut milk (approx. 3 c in all)
1 c water or chicken broth
1/2 c baby corns
1/2 c straw mushrooms (or substitute other mushroom of your choice)
1/2 c sliced bamboo shoots
5 kaffir lime leaves (dried are fine; these are available in packages
on the bottom -- usually dusty -- shelf of the Asian market; they
look like dried, curled-up leaves)
1/2 t salt (more or less to taste)
if green curry, 10 fresh basil leaves
if red curry, 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size strips
Fry curry paste in oil in saucepan until fragrant. Add chicken (if
using) and saute for about 1 minute over medium high heat. Add
remaining ingredients except basil leaves or red bell pepper. Bring
just barely to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 20-30 minutes. Just
before serving, stir in basil leaves or red bell pepper. Serve with
cooked Thai Jasmine rice (also available at the Asian market -- ask if
they have a smaller amount if you don't want to buy a 20-lb bag; they
will often make one up for you).
