Thai red curry with chicken

I made this curry very often and tried to perfect it. I like this balance of ingredients, but you can adjust to your liking. More curry paste for more spice, more coconut milk for a softer taste. My girlfriend cant take it when food is too spicy and I like spicy, but this balance is perfect for both of us. Pick a good curry paste, some are without additives with only fresh herbs. You can also make the curry paste yourself but you need a lot of exotic herbs and a good recipe.

Enjoy!

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Cut all the vegetables and chicken as required. Don't cut the vegetables too finely, they should still have a nice bite.

  2. 2

    Pre-bake the chicken in a wok in some coconut or olive oil until the pieces are no longer raw inside. You might have to do it in two portions. Take it out and set it aside on a plate when done, clean the wok.

  3. 3

    Put the bell pepper and the green beans into the wok in the rest of the oil for about 2 minutes on medium heat.

  4. 4

    Add the red curry paste and cook for another minute or 2. Add about a quarter of the coconut milk when the curry paste starts to stick to the pan. Stir everything together well and let it simmer.

  5. 5

    Cook the rice according to instructions in another pan. This will take about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add the normal onion, the chicken and some more coconut milk. Stir and let it simmer for 5 more minutes.

  7. 7

    Add the spring onions, the pineapple, and all the rest of the coconut milk. Turn the fire to low heat.

  8. 8

    Let it simmer some more. When your rice is done, check and taste if your vegetables are cooked well, especially the bell pepper and green beans.

  9. 9

    Serve the rice and curry separately. Everyone can take rice and pour delicious curry over it at will. Done!
