RED CURRY - RATIOS & TECHNIQUES

Curry is cooked in many different ways in Southeast Asia. Ratios and quantities of ingredients may vary according to personal or ethnic preferences in different regions. We recommend tasting the curry paste alone before cooking, and at each cooking stage to understand the role that each ingredient plays in the composition of the taste of your dish. There will always be time to adjust the dosage of the ingredients with an asterisk (*) by adding small quantities at a time to balance the flavors.

2. Add the protein. Stir regularly until fully cooked. Add the vegetables in an order that will achieve even cooking.

3. Taste and adjust the seasoning with fish sauce and sugar.
