How to make MY killer chicken red curry 

I'm revealing my recipe!

  • Heat a large skillet with the olive oil on medium heat.
  • Cut the chicken into strips. I like it 1/2 inch x 2 inches.
  • Add the chicken to the hot olive oil and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring to cook on both sides.
  • When the chicken is white, season with the garlic salt and add the coconut milk and red curry paste, stirring until the curry is distributed.
  • Add the soy sauce, bamboo shoots, and vegetables.
  • Turn the heat down a bit and continue to simmer.
  • Add the rice to boiling water. You'll want to time it to be ready when your curry is ready.
  • Add the Equal to the curry and stir well.
  • When you rice is ready, your curry should be ready.
  • I like to serve my curry in a flat soup bowl. In the middle of the bowl, place several tablespoons of the rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

I recommend a good cast-iron pan for making your red curry! 

Cobalt blue is a very hot color for pans
