Curry

Last weekend Ryan and Kyoung had us over to their home for Red Curry. It was very tasty. I've always wanted to know how to make it so Kyoung showed me how and gave us a recipe.

Basically you saute a few veggies, then add curry paste, lemon grass and lime leaf. Saute that for a while then add coconut milk, chicken stock and chicken. Bring that to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes or so. Add some fish sauce, Thai Basil (which we didn't have, but it still tasted good) and serve over Jasmine rice.

Friday I tried it out. I made a couple of mistakes, but it turned out pretty good. I made sure to make plenty to have for leftovers and it tasted even better today. So, if any of you come visit us (seriously, anybody that views this blog is welcome over for dinner), we'll cook up a batch.

Kevin and Ethan tried a little. I actually think they liked it, but were afraid to admit it.


Curry, Jasmine Rice, Fish Sauce, Lime Wedges and Chicken Nuggets with Ketchup (gag)

Haven't you taught those kids to use Ranch for their chicken nuggets yet?
The curry....well....I'm timid about new stuff. But I would taste it. I might like it. I might have to go for the chicken nuggets with the kids as long as you have ranch.

My kids eat chicken nuggets with ketchup, too. I think it sounds gross.

I wondered how it turned out,your curry looks much redder than mine, how much paste did you do? didn't you think the curry was much better the next day?

The curry was better then next day. I probably used 4 Tablespoons of the paste. I used the cheapest coconut milk I could find, which I think was a mistake. Other than that it tasted fine.

Can you taste the fishy taste of the fish sauce? I like curry but not if I could taste fish...
Looks real purdy!

Fish sauce doesn't taste fishy. It smells fishy though. I don't like fish either, but the curry tastes much better with the sauce.

If you are around this weekend, let us know the ingredients, and we'll buy if you prepare. This sounds like something we'd love!

We will be around Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. I think we're leaving early Sunday. If you get the meat and veggies, I'll get the rest. Green and Red Peppers, Onion, Bamboo Shoots, Carrots, and chicken breast.
