How to Make Chicken In Red Curry With Bamboo Shoots

  1. Heat 1 (13.5 ounce) can of coconut milk in a large pan over medium heat until simmering.
  2. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of red curry paste (adjust to your spice preference).
  3. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Reduce heat to low and simmer until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the remaining coconut milk (1 (13.5 ounce) can), 1/2 cup water, 1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots (drained), 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Add 1 medium zucchini, diced, 2-3 kaffir lime leaves (or 1 teaspoon lime zest), and 1-2 Thai chilies, thinly sliced (optional).
  6. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until zucchini is tender-crisp.
  7. Garnish with 1/4 cup fresh sweet basil leaves before serving.
  8. Serve hot over jasmine rice.
