How to Make Thai Red Curry Sauce

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of red Thai curry paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 can (13.5 oz) of full-fat coconut milk.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 1/2 cup of chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
  6. Continue to simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  7. Carefully pour the sauce into a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until completely smooth.
  8. Return the sauce to the saucepan and gently reheat if needed. Serve immediately over your favorite protein and rice.
