Instructions

1

Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the red curry paste and fry for 1 minute until fragrant and darkened.

Tip: Frying the curry paste in oil first blooms the spices and develops a much deeper flavor than adding it directly to liquid.

2

Pour in half the coconut milk and stir until the paste is dissolved. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes.

3

Add remaining coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer. Add bell pepper and bamboo shoots. Cook 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

4

Stir in lime juice and Thai basil. Serve over steamed jasmine rice.
