Redfish Panang

[Uncle Tommy]

Every couple months, I make a big batch of Panang sauce and freeze it in ice cube trays. Makes it easy to slap together a quick Panang when somebody gets invited home for dinner. Haven't harvested a Redfish in quite a few years, but this guy is my new favorite.

Looks like something from the Sinphay kitchen. Yummy!

I don't bother with making the paste from scratch Gil. Swing by your local Asian market and pick up some of these...



The come in green, red, yellow, panang, etc.....

Then making the meal is pretty easy:
1. choice of meat (pork, chicken, beef, fish)
2. 2 tbspn oil
3. 1-2 tbspn of curry paste (more if you want it hotter)
4. 2 kaffir lme leaves (substitute with zest of lime)
5. 1 can of coconut milk
6. 10-15 thai basil (substitute with Italian basil if you can't find thai)
7. 1-2 tbspn fish sauce
8. 1 tbspn brown sugar
9. choice of veggies

Heat oil and curry paste on high heat, add meat (or fish), veggies, kaffir lime leaves, coconut milk, stir well and cook for 10 minute or until meat(fish) is cook. Mix in basil, fish sauce, brown sugar and stir and let simmer for 5 or so minutes. Server immediately over Jasmine rice. (NO UNCLE BENS!!!!!)

Well shit, if it's from Mae Ploy, it has to be good! Thai basil has an anise flavor no? Is that traditional or your twist?

[GILs_GONE_WILD]

Cool, thanks noles. Always looking for different and tasty ways to cook my seafood. Tasty timesavers are even more better.

Curry tonight! A fur flinging friend of mine suprised me with an assortment of pastes from the Thai market. Masaman chicky with jasmine rice. I've been told it's not a meal without rice! Now, where do I find those lime leaves?

[Vlap]

Wong Kai Imports MIGHT have them.

[DaveR]

Found em at oriental Food and Gifts right here in the Gulfgate shops. Might have to cook this one outside. I don't think wifeypoo is fond of the unique bouquet of curry.

[Vlap]

The Gulfgate Mall? Wong Kai is nice but somewhat limited. Been looking for a good Asian Market.
