Gaeng Daeng Recipe (Thai Red Curry With Chicken)
Description
The Gaeng Daeng Recipe combines tender chicken pieces with crisp bell peppers and canned bamboo shoots simmered in rich coconut milk infused with red curry paste. Sugar, flavor seasoning, and salt balance the heat of the curry paste, while Thai sweet basil adds a fresh, aromatic finish.
The cooking method starts by simmering a portion of coconut milk until oil separates, intensifying flavor and thickening the sauce before adding curry paste. The rest of the coconut milk is added to create a creamy base. Ingredients are cooked until the chicken is done and vegetables reach preferred tenderness.
This curry is traditionally served with steamed rice or lightly textured rice noodles like kanom jeen, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. Its layers of flavor and creamy consistency make it appealing for those seeking authentic Thai cuisine at home.
Notes suggest substituting the RosDee flavor seasoning with fish sauce if unavailable and adjusting salt levels accordingly. Additional vegetables or proteins can be added based on preferences to customize the dish.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces chicken bite-sized pieces
- 3.5 ounces bell pepper bite-sized pieces
- 3.5 ounces bamboo shoots
- 0.35 ounces Thai sweet basil
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 13.5 fluid ounces coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon SEASONING RosDee, flavor seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat a pot or large wok over medium heat. Pour in a third of the coconut milk and cook until you see the oil starting to separate with the milk. Now it's time to stir in the red curry paste. Follow it up with the rest of the coconut milk.
- Toss in chicken pieces and add sugar, flavor seasoning, and salt. Cook and stir until chicken is cooked.
- Add bell peppers and bamboo shoots. Cook until they're just as tender as you like them.
- Turn off the heat and toss in Thai basil. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fish sauce instead of RosDee seasoning for umami if RosDee is unavailable; adjust salt accordingly.
- Add other vegetables or proteins to customize the curry to your liking.
- Serve the curry with steamed rice or kanom jeen rice noodles for a traditional pairing.
