Easy Thai Red Curry

The easiest and most flavorful homemade Thai red curry you will ever make in just 30-40 minutes! It tastes just like the restaurant-version, except 10000x times better and cheaper!

You know I couldn’t go to Bangkok without posting a Thai red curry recipe, right?

Because this is by far the easiest Thai red curry you will ever make in just 30-40 minutes, which includes prep time.

I told you – it’s too easy.

And you know you can always make substitutions to your liking:

• Brown rice, quinoa, or any other grain for basmati rice
• Chicken thighs for chicken breast
• Snap peas or broccoli for broccolini

But whatever substitution you make, the sauce here is to die for.

I don’t even need the chicken or rice or vegetables. Just serve me a bowl of the sauce.

K, thanks!
