• Pour the oil into a five-quart pot and put over medium heat.
• When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the Thai Red Curry Paste and stir, sautéing for about 2 minutes. (I like my Thai Red Curry the same as I ate it in Thailand, very spicy. Therefore, I use about 6 to 8 tablespoons of curry paste. My guess is most people would use about five. Any less, what's the point? Use your judgment for what you like.).

Steps:

• Peel shallots or onion and cut in half from top to root. Lay the cut sides flat on a board and thinly slice. Very finely slice the lemongrass, starting at the thinner end, stopping towards the base when it gets tough (often described as 'woody' and white in the centre).
• Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan for a couple of minutes until the oil separates (it looks more liquid at this point). Add the shallots or onion. Fry for 3-5 mins, until soft and translucent. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 min, stirring all the time.
• Add chicken pieces and stir until they are coated. Add the lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, lime leaves and coconut milk. Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins until the chicken is cooked. Stir the curry a few times while it cooks, to stop it sticking and to keep the chicken submerged.
• While the chicken is cooking, strip the leaves from the coriander stalks, gather into a pile and chop very roughly. Taste the curry and add a little more curry paste and salt if you think it needs it. Stir half the coriander into the curry and sprinkle the rest over the top. Serve with Thai jasmine or basmati rice.

AUTHENTIC THAI GREEN CURRY RECIPE (แกงเขียวหวาน) - BEST TASTE!

Steps:

• The first step is to prepare your ingredients to pound your green curry paste. Remove the stems of the Thai green chilies, peel the garlic and shallots, thinly slice the galangal, cilantro roots, and lemongrass. For the kaffir lime, delicately slice off all the green bumpy peel. For the cumin and coriander seed, dry roast them in a hot skillet for 30 seconds to bring out the aroma.
• Pound all the green curry paste ingredients in a stone mortar and pestle, apart from the shrimp paste, which you'll add at the very end. Pounding can take 1 - 2 hours, and you're looking for a smooth pureed paste. One good measure of a Thai curry paste is that you shouldn't see any chili seeds remaining in your paste, they should all be pounded out.
• Once your paste is finished, add the shrimp paste, and mix and mash until it's evenly mixed in. Set your green curry paste aside.
• Prepare your whole chicken by gutting and cleaning it. Chop the entire chicken into bite sized pieces. Alternatively, you could use typical pieces like drumsticks and thighs, or boneless chicken breast.
• In a pot, add 2 cups of water, the green curry paste, your pieces of chicken, and toss in about 10 kaffir lime leaves broken in half (this is for a citrusy fragrance).
• Boil the chicken for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and most of the water has evaporated, leaving mostly the thick curry paste and chicken at the bottom of the pot.
• While the chicken is boiling, prepare the Thai eggplant by cutting them into quarters. Pluck the Thai sweet basil off the stems so you just have the leaves and set them aside. And finally julienne the red spur chilies.
• After about 10 minutes of boiling the chicken, add in the coconut cream, and bring to a boil, stirring delicately. At this stage you can taste test your curry to see if it needs more salt. Add salt accordingly, I added in about ½ tsp. of salt.
• Next add the Thai eggplant and red spur chilies and boil for just 2 - 3 minutes.
• The final step is to toss the the Thai sweet basil, turn off the heat, and just let the sweet basil wilt into the curry.

THAI COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN

In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk and cornstarch; set aside. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in curry paste until well combined, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in coconut milk mixture, and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and sugar snap peas. Return chicken to the skillet. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with chili pepper and cilantro, if desired.

• Spoon in the coconut solids from the top of the can first, and allow it to fry with the paste for a minute. Stir in the rest of the coconut milk (or coconut cream) and 1 cup of chicken stock. If you would like the curry to be thinner/soupier, then you can add 1 more cup of stock. Bring to a low boil, then turn the stove down to a simmer.
• Stir in the potatoes. When the potatoes are about halfway cooked through, stir in the carrots and onions.
• Once the carrots are almost fork-tender, add in the thinly sliced chicken and cook for two or three minutes, until the chicken is just cooked through and tender. Pay attention not to overcook the chicken, this process doesn't take long.
• Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fish sauce, salt, and sugar, adjusting each to suit your tastes.
• Serve the curry in bowls, over jasmine rice. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.

Steps:

• To make the Green Curry Paste: In a food processor, combine the peppers, shallot, lemon grass and fresh ginger, and pulse to roughly chop. Add in anchovy paste, spices and oil and puree to form a paste.
• In a large heavy pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and 3 tablespoons of the green curry paste. Stir rapidly for 1 minute, then slowly add the coconut milk. Stir for 2 minutes and bring to a boil. Add in the peppers and onions, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
• In a large measuring cup, combine lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Slowly pour into simmering coconut mixture. Add in the chicken pieces and bring to a low boil. Simmer for 25 minutes, adjusting with additional curry powder, curry paste, and salt, if needed.
• To serve: Serve rice in individual bowls, top with curry, then garnish with your choice of toppings.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the pears and garlic cloves to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, 1 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes, salt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pears and toss to evenly coat. Arrange pears cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Flip pears over and pour a little bit of the maple syrup into each divot where the core was removed. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes more, then remove to a cutting board and let cool. When cool enough to handle, peel and dice.
• While the pears are cooling, combine the remaining ingredients in a small nonreactive saucepan, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Combine the pears and the sauce and refrigerate in a covered container for 24 hours, and up to 1 week.

THAI RED CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick pan. Add the light scallions, garlic, and jalapeño and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not brown.
• Add the coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and brown sugar and whisk together. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, a few minutes. Add the chicken and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally to promote even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. (Do not let the sauce boil; the idea is to cook the chicken gently so that it's tender.) Stir in the lime juice, dark scallion greens, and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime, if necessary. Serve with jasmine rice.
• Note: As always, take care when working with jalapeño peppers. If you touch the seeds or ribs, be sure to wash your hands well and avoid touching your eyes.
• Note: It's important to wait until you're ready to eat to cook the chicken. If you want to get a head start, prepare the sauce up until the point when the chicken is added. Take it off the heat and then poach the chicken right before serving. If the chicken sits in the hot curry sauce for too long before serving, it will overcook.
