Notes
- First chop and cut carrots, potatoes and chicken. Then, cook the potatoes and carrots with water and red curry paste. The best is to cover the lid and use a small fire to let it cook for 10-15 minutes until potatoes and carrots are a little bit soft.
- After that, add brown sugar, salt, coconut milk. Keep stirring and making sure the coconut milk is well mixed.
- Next, add bamboo shoots and chicken thighs cook until the chicken is done.
- Personally, I like to use chicken thighs to make curry because it has better texture. If you want to be healthier, you can use chicken breast. However, don’t over cook the chicken breast.
- The best to serve with jasmine rice.
