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! So read on to learn how I make chicken red curry -- Thai style!

Secret ingredients for MY killer chicken red curry recipe 

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm divulging my secret ingredients for a limited time! I normally would keep this information pretty close-to-the-vest, but I've been persuaded to share this info!

  • 1 pound of boneless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons of Pilippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon of Kikkoman Lite Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 a package of A Taste of Thai Red Curry Paste -- this is customizable depending upon how hot you like it! I've tried the entire package and that a tad bit hot for the hubby.
  • One 13.5 fl. oz. can of Hokan Coconut Milk
  • One 8 oz. can of LaChoy Fancy Bamboo Shoots -- drained
  • One-half package of Birds Eye Deluxe Baby Vegetables Baby Broccoli Mix -- broccoli florets, edamame, Parisian carrots, & sliced water chestnuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon of Lawry's Garlic salt
  • Dash of salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 packages of Equal sweetener -- the yellow stuff!
  • 1 bag of Success Jasmin Rice - Thai Fragrant Rice - 10 minute Boil-in-Bag

Here's that magical ingredient for chicken red curry -- Thai Style! 

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the one magical "secret" ingredient that helps make my three alarm chicken red curry ... well, "three alarm!"

I love this stuff! You know, you can use A Taste of Thai Red Curry Paste in a variety of dishes!

It's my spice of choice when I cook Basa fish -- check out that lens for cooking tips and interesting info on Basa.

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.

This looks delicious. I've used that paste, it's really tasty. We have some good Thai restaurants here in NC and I often go with my "mentee" since I'm supposed to expose her to foreign cultures. And - thanks for visiting my lonely Yiddish site.
