Seriously the holy grail of thai curry recipes! I have messed up thai curry so many times, but this one is solid! Secret key: 1. Use Maesri Red Curry Paste. For me this is THE ONLY pre-made curry paste worth using. 2. A splash of thai fish sauce gives it that iconic Thai Food FUNK, and yes, you want that. 3. The brown sugar is not optional. Even if you just use 1 tablespoon, it is gonna be a game changer (bonus points if you've got palm sugar, but brown sugar works) Happy cooking ❤️
