How to make Thai Curry with Chicken

Ingredients:

1 to 2 medium chicken breasts, baked and shredded
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 heaping tsp red curry paste
1 can bamboo, shredded or you can buy whole and cut up yourself
3 kaffir lime leaves (very hard to find, we substituted 1 tsp lime juice)
1 can coconut milk
10 - 15 sweet basil leaves (we used regular basil in this one)
1 - 2 tbsp fish sauce
A pinch or two of ground red chili pepper (OPTIONAL, if you like it a little spicier)
Rice, to serve with curry

Serves 4-6
When we cooked this we let everything simmer for about 5 minutes. You can also use beef or pork, if you don't want chicken. If you decide to do this, then you need 1/2 lb of pork or beef. Cut it into thin strips. Add it when you add the bamboo and coconut milk, let it cook for 10 minutes or until the meat is cooked.
Most ingredients that you need can be found at an Asian grocery or international section of your local supermarket.

Enjoy and keep cooking!

Is that curry paste or curry powder? And does it matter if u use either or?

[EssentialCooking]

@jaidenvc we used curry paste. It does matter because the Thai curry paste has all the ingredients for the curry already ground and pureed into it.

[pinkixora]

@missaneska i think u can find in any asian food store where u live.
