This recipe brings together the rich and complex flavors of Thai cuisine, making it a delicious and satisfying meal for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff it with a fork.
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add the minced ginger root and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tbsp of curry paste, cooking and stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 2 cups of coconut milk, stirring to combine.
- Add the cubed pumpkin and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the pumpkin is tender.
- Add 1 tsp of brown sugar, 1 tbsp of fish sauce, and mix well.
- Gently add the chunks of white fish, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
- Stir in the Chinese peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Add 1 tbsp of lime zest and 1 tbsp of lime juice, stirring to combine.
- Serve the fish and pumpkin red curry over the cooked basmati rice.
- Optionally, garnish with additional lime wedges, fresh cilantro, or chopped chili for extra flavor and heat.
Tips:
- Prep all ingredients ahead of time.: Having everything ready before you start cooking will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Simmer gently.: When adding the fish, let it cook gently to keep it tender and prevent it from breaking apart.
- Customize spice levels.: If you prefer a spicier curry, add more curry paste or incorporate fresh chili peppers to taste.
- Use fresh ingredients.: Fresh ginger root, lime juice, and zest will make a big difference in the flavor and aroma of the dish.
- Serve immediately.: Fish and Pumpkin Red Curry is best enjoyed fresh and hot. Avoid letting it sit too long before serving.
