Great recipe for (Hotter Than It Looks) Thai Curry Base. On the night this recipe was created, we had shrimp, shrooms, and snow peas with which to make dinner, and Hubbalicious said he wanted something spicy, to which I mused aloud how I've noticed that people who tend to say, "Oh, that's spicy!". A green curry in authentic Thai cuisine will always be hotter than a red curry and the heat will also differ between the regions, green curry from the South of Thailand (excepting the tourist areas) tends to be much more fiery due to the addition of Bird's Eye chillies.

The ingredients needed to make (Hotter Than It Looks) Thai Curry Base:

  3. Make ready 2 Tablespoons finely minced ginger
  4. Make ready 2 Tablespoons finely minced garlic
  5. Take 3 serrano chilies, finely minced (Thai bird chilies are ideal and Chiles de arbol would also work well here.)
  6. Make ready 1 Tablespoon crushed red chili flakes (like the kind you use on pizza and pasta)
  7. Make ready the zest of 1 lime (or 3 kaffir lime leaves finely julienned)
  8. Prepare 2 Tablespoons oil
  9. Prepare 1-2 teaspoons curry powder, depending on how strong a curry flavor you prefer
  10. Take 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
  11. Take 1 Tablespoon lime juice

Most Thai curries contain coconut milk whereas only a few Indian curries do. Thai curries often use coconut milk as their base liquid and to make a good Thai curry, it is important to buy the right type and quality of coconut milk. The coconut milk adds a slight thickness while still keeping. Curry is called gaeng phet in Thai.

Instructions to make (Hotter Than It Looks) Thai Curry Base:
  1. In a preheated medium high pan, saute the aromatics - onion, garlic, ginger, chilies, chili flakes, and lime zest - in the 2 Tablespoons of oil until the onions are translucent. Add the curry powder, stir to incorporate, and let the curry bloom for a minute or so.
  2. Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir to incorporate thoroughly, turn the heat up to high, and bring the curry to an active boil for a minute.
  3. Add in your protein and veg and bring the curry back up to a boil for a minute or so, turn the heat down to medium high, and let it simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until your protein is cooked through. Bite sized pieces of seafood will take no time at all (3 to 5 minutes), white meat chicken a little bit longer (5 to 7 minutes), and dark meat yet longer (7 to 10 minutes).
  4. Give it a stir, adjust the seasoning if needed - a little more salt or fish sauce if you want it saltier, a little more lime juice if you like extra tang, maybe a pinch more of sugar to round out all the flavors - simmer another minute or two, and that's it! Serve with steamed rice.
  5. For the curry in this pic I used: 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used 31/40 size), 1/2 pound button or crimini mushrooms, 1/2 pound snow peas, 1/2 red bell pepper cut into 1/4-inch strips, and an 8 oz can (the short one) of bamboo shoots, drained. But you can of course use whatever veg you like and have handy, following the general measurement guidelines of 1 pound of protein and 1 pound of veg for 4 servings.
  6. Enjoy! :)

The coconut milk adds a slight thickness while still keeping. Curry is called gaeng phet in Thai. In Thai gaeng means liquid and refers to both soups and curries and phet means hot in the incendiary sense. When searching for a Thai curry recipe, note that often times the water-based curries are categorized with soups, because not all gaeng are spicy curries. Gaeng also encompasses mild flavored soups called gaeng joot i.e. clear Thai soups.
