Instructions

  1. Add 3.40 fl oz/100ml of your coconut milk in a wok over medium heat. Simmer until the sides start to bubble. The coconut oil will naturally separate and rise to the surface.
  2. Once you see the coconut oil create a separate layer, stir in your red curry paste. Mix well with the coconut milk and follow up with your remaining milk, mix well once more.
  3. Add sliced beef, bamboo shoots, palm sugar, and fish sauce. Cook until the beef is done and make sure the palm sugar is fully dissolved.
  4. Turn off the heat and stir in your sliced chilies, sweet basil, and kaffir lime leaves. Serve immediately with rice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Balance the flavors: Taste-test and adjust seasonings if needed. Some store-bought curry pastes are saltier and spicier than others, so it's important to adjust the flavors to your taste.
  • Thai red curry paste: You can either use my homemade paste or store-bought. For store-bought, choose Mae Ploy or Maesri.
  • Beef: Unlike the braising and slow-cooking method used in my recipe for gaeng massaman neua, this beef bamboo shoots curry comes together quickly, making it ideal for weeknight dinners. It's important to opt for a tender cut of beef that cooks quickly and remains tender, like sirloin and tenderloin. Slice the beef thinly against the grain.
  • Bamboo shoots: If you have fresh bamboo shoots, boil the peeled and sliced shoots in water with a dash of sugar for about 20 minutes to remove any bitterness before adding them to your dish.
