Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
- 5 shallots (minced)
- 1½ tablespoons flour
- 2 ounces Thai yellow curry paste (about 2 tablespoons, 57g)
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 2 packs Asian fried fish balls
Instructions
- Add two tablespoons of oil to a shallow pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the shallots until they start to caramelize. Add the flour and stir thoroughly to combine, cooking for a minute or so. Make a space in the center of the pan, and add the last tablespoon of oil and the curry paste. Fry until fragrant.
- Next, add the chicken stock and stir thoroughly, breaking up the curry and the roux. Bring to a boil and let thicken. Add the coconut milk, curry powder, soy sauce, white and black peppers, the sugar, and finally, the fish balls.
- Simmer for 10 minutes until the curry sauce thickens and the fish balls are warmed through.
- Serve immediately in the pan or on skewers. You can also eat these with a bowl of plain rice or noodles!
