So Much Thai Curry!

On the Top: Green
On the Bottom: Red

Last month there was some crazy Thai Curry making at the House of Radpanda and Special K. Both Green and Red were contenders! It was admittedly not all made from scratch because I have no clue how that works and according to one of my friends who actually took a curry course in Thailand, you can't find a lot of the fresh ingredients here. Anyways, Thai Curry is actually relatively easy to make. The "Thai Kitchen" brand of pastes and sauces are sold almost everywhere. (Andronico's and Costplus for sure. I even saw it at Bi-Rite Market). These pastes have really easy to follow recipes on them! Choose your curry color of choose and grab a can of coconut milk. The rest is up to you. Tob-asco and I opted for chicken, bamboo shoots, peas, carrots, corn, and onions for the green curry. For the red curry, I think I chose chicken, tofu, bamboo shoots, peas, carrots, corn, onions, AND tomatoes. They were the most awesome tomatoes ever.

Some advice: You can substitute soy sauce for fish sauce if you don't have it on hand or want to buy it. Also, throw in a bullion cube or stock of some sort! It really makes a difference.
