ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
• 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, shaken
• 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into bite size pieces (if you want to make it meat-less, use firm tofu, cut into small slices and add your desired veggies)
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce or 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 red bell pepper, cored and sliced

2. Heat the oil in the frying pan over medium heat.
3. Add the curry base and simmer for 2 minutes, so that it is dissolved and foaming.

This recipe came out pretty good, but it wasn't what I had expected. I was expecting a thinner gravy, but it was still very tasty. I added extra basil and red curry paste for more of a kick.
