What is Thai Red Curry?

Red curry is a popular Thai dish consisting of red curry paste cooked in coconut milk with meat added, such as chicken, beef, pork, duck or shrimp, or vegetarian protein source such as tofu.

What is Red Curry Paste?

The base Thai red curry paste is traditionally made with a mortar and pestle, and remains moist throughout the preparation process. The red colouring derived from dry red spur chillies which are dried prik chi fa red chilies. The main ingredients include (dried) red chilli peppers, garlic, shallots, galangal, shrimp paste, salt, makrut lime leaves, coriander root, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, peppercorns and lemongrass.[1] Today, the prepared Thai red curry pastes are available at markets produced in mass quantities, and also available in bottled jar produced by some brands.

What does a Thai Red Curry Taste like?

Thai Red Curry, like any Asian curries, has a superb depth of flavour. The sauce flavour is complicated, it has many layers from all the elements in the paste that is then simmered with broth and coconut milk. It’s sweet and savoury, and it is quite rich.

The usage of shrimp paste and fish sauce within the curry paste (jar or homemade) gives the saltiness as well as the umami *. but, this red curry recipe does no longer have a extra fishy or fermented shrimp flavour like a few “hardcore” Thai restaurants. Most non-Thai nationals discover variations too fishy for their palette.

at the same time as one may additionally anticipate Thai red Curry is fiery, in actual fact it isn’t always! it’s far without a doubt pretty moderate, and usually most restaurants tend to stay with the slight stage of spiciness although you may discover a few eating places that dial up the warmth considerabally.

How to make perfect Thai Red Curry?

  • The name of the game for making excellent Thai curries is to use plenty of aromatics, like onion, ginger and garlic.
  • pick full-fat coconut milk for its richness (you won’t regret it!).
  • Stirring in just a little bit of rice vinegar and sugar provides lots of complexity.
  • With no trouble to be had shop-bought Thai red curry paste adds characteristic Thai flavour and, bonus, the Thai Kitchen brand is vegetarian. you could make it personal if you’re so willing, though.
  • Sense unfastened to change up the veggies, as long as you slice them so they’re all quite small and approximately the same size. you may attempt broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, diced butternut or candy potato (with a view to in all likelihood require an extended cooking time), sliced zucchini and/or yellow squash.

Step 4

Take away the pot from the heat and season with tamari and rice vinegar. add salt (I brought ¼ teaspoon for ideal flavour), to taste. If the curry needs a touch more punch, add ½ teaspoon extra tamari, or for extra acidity, add ½ teaspoon greater rice vinegar. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes,in case you love spicy curries, serve with sriracha or chilli garlic sauce on the side.
