I personally love Thai style red curry chicken that's about an 8.5 on the hot scale ... how about you?
I've been making Thai style chicken red curry for several years that I've pretty much got it down to a science. And that's just what I need when we are talking about MY hubby. You see, he was a science teacher and has been a chemist for all his adult life. He's always analyzing chemical formulas at work. Just as he will tweak a product formula, I'm always tweaking my chicken red curry to make it more tasty.
Because my hubby had got a NOSE for smells, he's always asking, What did you PUT in that? or What is THAT I smell? Well, he LOVES my red curry and he's pretty picky ... so I guess my curry is pretty good!

How to make the killer chicken red curry
- 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.
