This recipe was inspired by Moribyan, but instead of using coconut milk I decided to use coconut cream. I also doubled the sauce recipe because I like more sauce.

Instructions
Step 1
To a pan over medium heat, add the oil and the chili peppers and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then add the ginger, garlic, and red curry paste. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2
Add the fish sauce, coconut cream, lime juice, brown sugar and salt. Mix together and bring to a boil.
*You can also add a little milk during this step as well, which can improve the flavor and balance the spice and saltiness. If you want it sweeter, just add more brown sugar.*
