Whenever I ask my mom where she'd like to go out to eat, I can count on three responses: Thai food, Mexican food, or burgers. But with this cravable 30-minute Thai red chicken curry, there's no need to head anywhere else but my kitchen.
With a silky smooth coconut curry sauce, a rainbow medley of veggies, and succulent strips of chicken, this red chicken curry is what weeknight dinner dreams (and their leftovers) are made of.
Like my Thai Turkey Meatballs in Coconut Red Curry Sauce and Thai Green Chicken Curry, this recipe comes together in about 30 minutes but tastes like it's been simmering all afternoon.
My secret? A blend of fresh aromatics deepens the flavor of the red curry paste, with a high-quality fish sauce and a few spoonfuls of sugar balancing out all the umami flavor.
Feel free to mix and match the veggies to use up whatever's in your produce drawer. This is a flexible recipe that's easy to adjust as needed.
Enjoy!
