Ingredients
- 2 whitefish (about 14" each), cut into filets, then cut into 1" pieces
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup shallot, finely diced
- ½ tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- ¼ cup red curry paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cans coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ⅔ cup snow peas, cut into thirds
- 1 medium zucchini, cut in half and sliced
- 4 oz shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 6 tablespoon Thai basil, cut into ribbons
- 6 tablespoon green onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cups cooked sticky rice
- red pepper flakes (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan and swirl to coat.
- Add in shallots, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add in curry paste, chicken broth, coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk until well-combined. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in bell pepper, snow peas, zucchini, and mushrooms. Stir to coat vegetables in sauce. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Add in lime juice and zest. Stir to combine.
- Add in fish and stir to combine. Simmer covered for 3-5 minutes or until fish is starting to flake and vegetables are crisp tender.
- To each bowl, add ¾ cup rice. Divide curry sauce with vegetables and fish among bowls. Top with a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Top with 1 tablespoon each of Thai basil ribbons and sliced green onions.
- Note: You can remove a small amount of sauce and cook the fish in a separate pan to avoid overcooking and losing the fish in the sauce.
