Learn to make a classic Thai curry that rivals your favorite neighborhood takeaway spot.
Thai cooking emphasizes lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components and a spicy edge. Thai Red Curry Paste is a versatile and flavorful base for many Thai dishes. The classic recipe consists of red chili peppers, garlic, salt, lemongrass, turmeric, and shrimp paste. But, it will work perfectly if you buy the paste at the store ahead of class.
Join Chef Jen in her Chicago kitchen, as she guides you step-by-step in recreating this red thai curry that can be made with chicken or eggplant for a vegetarian option. Once you have created your curry masterpiece, you will serve it over steamed white rice to enjoy a delicious, warming meal.
