Gaeng Gai Sai Nor Mai (Red Curry With Bamboo Shoot And Chicken)
Gaeng Gai Sai Nor Mai can be made with or without coconut. This recipe we do is without coconut milk. It has
a little hot and spicy taste. If you like spicy you can add more red curry paste or fresh chilies. The most important thing of cooking curry dishes is frying the curry paste in oil. You should use low or medium heat and often stir the red curry paste until it’s fragrant. Then add fish sauce and simmer it until oil appears on top. If you make this part well you will be amazed of its taste.
