Use pre-cooked bamboo shoots and boil them until they're less bitter before making this red curry chicken. It's delicious!

Steps

1

Prepare the chicken, coconut milk, pick the basil leaves, and boil the bamboo shoots until less bitter for use in the curry.
2

Add about 2 cups (480 ml) of thick coconut milk to a pot with the red curry paste. Stir until the oil starts to separate (it doesn't need to be fully separated). Add the chicken pieces and fish sauce. When the chicken starts to cook, add the thin coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and all seasonings. Simmer for another 15 minutes, then add the fresh chilies.
3

Once everything is cooked, add the chicken blood (cut into pieces) to the pot and stir gently with the chicken. Add the torn kaffir lime leaves and Thai basil. Pour in the remaining thick coconut milk and simmer for another 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired (add more salt or sugar to taste).
