Pad Prik King Recipe – Red Curry Chicken & Long Bean Stir Fry ไก่ผัดพริกขิง

Serious Eats / J. Kenji López-Alt

Walk past a curry vendor in a Thai food court and you’re likely to see a curry that stands out: phat phrik khing. Unlike most other curries which are served with lots of liquid whether it’s coconut milk or broth phat phrik khing is served dry with an intensely flavorful curry paste coating every morsel. It can be made with any number of vegetables or meats but I’m particularly fond of the common combination of green beans and tofu. The simplest recipes start with store-bought red curry paste. (Some include shrimp paste but vegan red curry paste is easy to find.) It’s not a bad way to get a meal on the table in 10 minutes but as long as you have access to fresh Southeast Asian ingredients a few basic tools and a little elbow grease you can create something much more spectacular.

Have you ever thought of a great answer just too late? People often ask me which underrated kitchen tool deserves a more central place in their kitchen. I should have the answer memorized by now but when I’m in a pinch I say things like thermometer! or immersion blender! or maybe a scale! Those are all great tools. Indispensable even. But if I had to pick one tool that is seriously underrated and overlooked it would be the humble mortar and pestle a tool that has been used in cultures around the world since the dawn of cooking.
