Introduction
A quick and delicious Thai red curry chicken featuring sliced bamboo shoots and fresh Thai basil. This recipe shows how a good store-bought curry paste can easily recreate authentic restaurant flavors at home.
Step 1
Sauté the red curry paste in neutral oil over medium-low heat for exactly 2 minutes to release the aromatic oils of the herbs.
Step 2
Pour in the coconut milk, water, and a pinch of sugar. Simmer gently for 5 minutes to fully integrate the curry paste flavors into the liquid base.
Step 3
Bring the curry sauce base back to a boil, then add the palm sugar and sliced bamboo shoots.
Step 4
Add the sliced chicken breast (previously marinated in 1 tsp of fish sauce) into the boiling curry. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is just cooked through.
Step 5
Taste the curry. Adjust the seasoning by adding fish sauce to taste (stronger pastes like Mae Ploy need very little; milder ones like Thai Kitchen will need significantly more).
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Curry paste brands vary significantly in saltiness, heat, and herb concentration; Mae Ploy, Aroy-D, and Namjai are strong and flavorful, while Thai Kitchen is very mild.
If using Thai Kitchen, you must double the paste quantity and add more fish sauce to achieve a standard savory flavor profile.
Marinating the chicken in fish sauce beforehand ensures the meat remains flavorful and does not taste bland inside the curry.
Always turn off the heat before adding the Thai basil to maintain its vibrant green color and fresh herbal aroma.
