Preparation

Chef’s notes

For store-bought yellow curry paste, the Maesri brand is recommended. If using this, only 2-3 tablespoons are needed rather than 1/4 cup of homemade paste.
Coconut cream is richer and thicker than coconut milk, but both can be used.
To thicken the sauce, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water to the bubbling pot.
The nutrition label does not include rice.
