Hello everybody, hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, I will show you a way to make a distinctive dish, (hotter than it looks) thai curry base. It is one of my favorites food recipes. This time, I will make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

(Hotter Than It Looks) Thai Curry Base is one of the most favored of current trending meals on earth. It is simple, it is quick, it tastes delicious. It is enjoyed by millions daily. They are fine and they look wonderful. (Hotter Than It Looks) Thai Curry Base is something which I’ve loved my entire life.

Green curries are hot, red curries less so. It had always been so, that is simply the way it is. Therefore, I was surprised to find out that in the West the reverse was often thought to be the case. That Thai red curry is the spiciest with the Thai green curry being much milder.

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have (hotter than it looks) thai curry base using 14 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make (Hotter Than It Looks) Thai Curry Base:
  1. Prepare 1/4 yellow onion, finely minced
  2. Take 1/4 cup very finely chopped cilantro and/or basil (This is a great use for all those stems!)
  3. Prepare 2 Tablespoons finely minced ginger
  4. Make ready 2 Tablespoons finely minced garlic
  5. Make ready 3 serrano chilies, finely minced (Thai bird chilies are ideal and Chiles de arbol would also work well here.)
  6. Make ready 1 Tablespoon crushed red chili flakes (like the kind you use on pizza and pasta)
  7. Take the zest of 1 lime (or 3 kaffir lime leaves finely julienned)
  8. Take 2 Tablespoons oil
  9. Get 1-2 teaspoons curry powder, depending on how strong a curry flavor you prefer
  10. Get 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
  11. Get 1 Tablespoon lime juice
  12. Get 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  13. Prepare 1 teaspoon sugar
  14. Get 1 can coconut milk (they're usually somewhere between 13 and 15 ounces)

Traditionally, all Thai curries were made with the same ingredients except for one thing: the chilies. Red curry was made with several red chilies for a fiery hot. How do you choose a good curry paste? Should you be making your own?

Steps to make (Hotter Than It Looks) Thai Curry Base:
  1. In a preheated medium high pan, saute the aromatics - onion, garlic, ginger, chilies, chili flakes, and lime zest - in the 2 Tablespoons of oil until the onions are translucent. Add the curry powder, stir to incorporate, and let the curry bloom for a minute or so.
  2. Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir to incorporate thoroughly, turn the heat up to high, and bring the curry to an active boil for a minute.
  3. Add in your protein and veg and bring the curry back up to a boil for a minute or so, turn the heat down to medium high, and let it simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until your protein is cooked through. Bite sized pieces of seafood will take no time at all (3 to 5 minutes), white meat chicken a little bit longer (5 to 7 minutes), and dark meat yet longer (7 to 10 minutes).
  4. Give it a stir, adjust the seasoning if needed - a little more salt or fish sauce if you want it saltier, a little more lime juice if you like extra tang, maybe a pinch more of sugar to round out all the flavors - simmer another minute or two, and that's it! Serve with steamed rice.
  5. For the curry in this pic I used: 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used 31/40 size), 1/2 pound button or crimini mushrooms, 1/2 pound snow peas, 1/2 red bell pepper cut into 1/4-inch strips, and an 8 oz can (the short one) of bamboo shoots, drained. But you can of course use whatever veg you like and have handy, following the general measurement guidelines of 1 pound of protein and 1 pound of veg for 4 servings.
  6. Enjoy! :)
