Lotus Red Curry Recipe

Ingredients

• 50g Lotus Red curry paste
• 400ml coconut milk (1 tin)
• 500g cooked sliced meat (chicken/pork/lamb/beef/seafood/tofu)
• 1 large pepper (cut into slices)
• 120g Lotus sliced bamboo shoots
• 1-2 chopped red sweet chillies
• 200-250ml of chicken/vegetable stock (water may be used as a substitute)
• Sprinkle of sweet basil
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp fish sauce

Directions:

1. Pour the vegetable oil into the wok at medium heat
2. Add the curry paste, stirring until it blends with the oil
3. Add the coconut milk, and approx. 200-250ml of stock (depending on preference of a thick/thin sauce) More stock can be added if required
4. Add the pepper, bamboo shoots & chillies
5. Add the sugar then fish sauce. Now, bring to a boil
6. Finally, add the cooked meat and simmer for 5 minutes, before adding the sweet basil – if beef or lamb is used, more cooking time is needed until the meat is tender.
