Thai Red Curry Chicken

This is not a tutorial. It's a post with pics in it. I didn't take pics of every step, but it did come out good. The noodles are not pasta, but tofu noodles. This is the BEST usage of it so far. Can't taste anything different about them.
This brand of coconut milk and this brand of curry paste are easy to find at Asian grocery stores and much better than what you find at markets like Albertsons (Thai Kitchen is the brand they have.)
This is skinless boneless thigh meat. Use what you like.
You can't see the mushrooms, onions, sweet red pepper and garlic that are under the zucchini and squash. All sauteed in olive oil & butter.
Tofu noodles! Low carb! You have to thoroughly rinse them and then you can choose to microwave or put in boiling water for 2 or 3 min. This time, I put in boiling water.
Finished with lots of freshly squeezed lime juice. Thai food needs to be hot, sour, salty, sweet.

Love curry chicken
That looks nice
Bet it tasted good too
Now I might have to take the wife (may her name be praised forever) out for Thai tonight.

When do you add the curry paste?

I don't do it the way I've seen in many recipes. I brown the meat and saute the vegetables, separately, and reserving them both. THEN I put the curry paste in the skillet and add the coconut milk and combine them very well. Threw the chicken back in, along with a cup of chicken stock. I let that do a low simmer (don't want the coconut milk to curdle) for 20 min and then added the vegetables back, tasting for seasoning and reheating the veg.
The curry paste has plenty of heat, so I added salt, no pepper (this time). I also usually add fish sauce, but I didn't have any. Used the juice of 1.5 limes.
ETA: Looking at the pics, I remembered that I added a little bit of Tony's to the sauteed vegetables.

What are proportions of coconut milk to paste? You use those entire cans in the pic?
Posted on 12/12/12 at 1:30 pm to etm512
Yep, I did.

Might try that tonight and serve with the leftover rice :)

Rice or noodles, both good choices! Sometimes I eat it without either.
Palm sugar (or white or brown) is good to add if you need a little more sweetness. I used Splenda.

I bet some of your oranges would've been good in that curry.

I tried it tonight with a full can of each and found that it needed a little sweetness to balance out the salt and heat.
I went a really odd route and caramelized a sliced up banana to add sweetness.
It was awesome and you should marry me

That sounds like an interesting way to add sweetness.
Posted on 12/12/12 at 8:34 pm to Darla Hood
To be honest I never would have thought of it if I didn't see something about someone putting bananas in a Thai curry dish on one of those silly cooking competition shows
That and I couldn't find the honey
:(

If it worked and tasted good, I see no problem with it. I was looking for a way to add sweetness without actually using sugar. Maybe I'll try that next time.
Posted on 12/12/12 at 8:58 pm to Darla Hood
I think next time I will do 2 bananas and emulsify it before throwing them in
I left it cut up
I fished a couple out just to see what the banana/curry gravy flavor combo was like. Actually really good.
I've made some things with banana/coconut together before and the flavors complement each other pretty well. Never thought of how it would be with some heat. Turns out it's actually pretty good.

Add a touch of fish sauce and some peanut butter and that's exactly what I make at home.

You're right. I usually do add fish sauce, but I had to throw the bottle I had away. It was all crackly (is that a word?). I don't use it often enough to use it up in a reasonable amount of time.
If I decide to make some tom kha gai, I will get some more fish sauce.
Peanut butter is an excellent addition. Will try it.
