My family is Thai Crazy.  I think they could probably eat it everyday and never tire of it.  Ok, I’m pretty good with rice and meat, but oh, you want it to taste like Thai food?  Let me find the number.  Then I found Thai Kitchen, an awesome line of products that make it easy to make your own Thai food at home.  From sauces, curry pastes and rice, Thai Kitchen has what you need to get that Thai food taste and smell without going to the restaurant.  Their website, RealAsianMadeSimple, has lots of delicious recipes that you could try tonight for dinner.  The site has recipes for all of your Thai favorites, made with Thai Kitchen ingredients available at your local grocery store.

Thai Kitchen sent me some ingredients so I could make their Red Curry Chicken.  Ok, really, I was expecting it to be good, but it was way better than that.  The scent of the dish is amazing and the taste is fabulous.  I will admit that Fish Sauce can be scary.  One bad experience can ruin it for you.  This fish sauce is not scary at all, in fact, I think it cured me of my fear of Fish Sauce.  Added to the other ingredients, you can smell and taste the fish sauce as it should be, in small amounts, mixed into a dish.  Adding fish sauce complements the other flavors in the dish, and it is perfection.  The Red Curry Chicken recipe was included with my ingredients:

Red Curry Chicken

1 can Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk, divided

2 T Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste (I would start with 1T and add more if you want)

1 T Brown Sugar

1 lb. Cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I used thighs because they are cheaper and delicious)

1/4 c. Chopped Fresh Thai Basil

2 T Thai Kitchen Premium Fish Sauce (I started with 1T)

Bring 1/2 of the coconut milk to simmer in a large skillet on medium heat.  Sitr in Red Curry paste until well blended.  Add reamining coconut milk and sugar.  Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in chicken.  Cook 3-5 minutes until chicken is heated through.  Stir in basil and fish sauce.

Serve with Thai Kitchen Jasmine Rice.

Makes 4 servings.
