A request for som tam has turned this into an unannounced "Thai week at the tummies'" and I am finishing it off with two more delicious dishes today.
I don't think I need to tell you too much about this much loved Thai curry. Together with green curry, phat thai, som tam and the likes, this is a must have dish for most people visiting a Thai restaurant. Unfortunately my favourite curry is also often overpriced with barely any duck meat in it, reasons why we tend to avoid ordering when we dine out. I used Luv'A Duck roast duck breasts in this recipe since they are on sale but feel free to roast your own or simply purchase half a roast duck from your Chinese eatery, which is what I would normally do.
P.S This is my last Thai curry using shop bought paste so get ready for some recipes of homemade curry paste soon.

you'll need;
3 roast duck breast, thickly sliced or half a roast duck*
3 tbs of homemade or shop bought red curry paste
400 ml of coconut milk
200 ml of stock
3 kaffir lime leaves, torn
6 canned rambutans or lychee (used fresh ones if available, pitted)
3 tbs of fish sauce
3 tbs of palm sugar
6 Thai eggplants, halved
10 long beans, cut into 5 cm pieces
1 tomato, cut into chunks
1 bunch of Thai basil, picked (you should get a cup)
* separate meat from bones and sliced. Use the bones to enhance the taste of the curry, see step 3.
oh tummyyyy, this also looks yummy!jadi my neighbourlah tummy :D hari2 i hantar empty plate hihihi.... btw, khao mun gai sgt sedap!thanks ya! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi tummy..semalam tak sempat lihat menu nasi ayam hainan Tummy dan hari ini satu lagi posting yang pastinya akan makcik cuba.Sesuatu yang baru ...ada rambutan dalam curry..dapat bayangkan rasanya..yummy:)masuk list jugak ni:)
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Thank you so much for explaining where the duck comes from- the few times I've made duck I always buy a whole duck and find that it is not too meaty. I will look for just the breast.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. I didn't know about not shaking the can of coconut milk. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteCan you get back o me on my queries on the Ho Mok Pla you made previously? I just got back from Perth and realise I've been missing a lot of interesting post here! Because you don't moderate comment, I think you mush have missed my comment. Would prefer I email you for questions???
Thanks and cheers.
I agree with the overpriced with barely any meat duck curry we are getting here. The curry looks fantastic and thanks for all the tips, always learn something here!
ReplyDeleteHey buddy I can't agree more with the facts about duck curry in restaurants. Beautiful curry to end your Thai food week and I am looking forward to the homemade curry paste! Cheers buddy!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love duck curry. Must try and make some soon... heh
ReplyDeleteOhhhh my favourite curry that has heaps of duck meat in it!
ReplyDeleteMouthwatering! Never had duck curry...
ReplyDeletehi tummy ,makcik tak pernah maak rambutan dalam kari..sekarang ni musim rambutan,nak cuba..kalau cadangan dari you,mesti sedap..
ReplyDeletemmmmm yeahhh i could scoff all of that.
ReplyDeleteOMG i was all set to make duck ragu last weekend... and as i'm cutting up the duck.... it was off :(
I love duck curry and this is certainly better than anything I have had.
ReplyDeleteI must try duck curry too. It is very expensive in the restaurant. Looks very delicious!
ReplyDeleteMmm, one of my favourite curries and you are so right, whenever I order it at restaurants it tends to be a bit low on the meat! Must try to make it myself next time, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful curry my friend and you put so much duck meat in it!
ReplyDeleteFinally you decided to make my favourite curry. I was to afraid to ask for this thinking it might be too common lol. I like the idea of adding more flavour to the curry by simmering the bones.
ReplyDeleteThis really sounds incredible. I love duck and your sauce has just the right amount of heat. This is a definite must try for me. Thanks so much for this lovely recipe. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary

makcikmanggis ,
Oh kalau ada lychee boleh pakai lychee jugak :) Sedap sekali :)
Ren,
Thank you very much! If you are just after the meat it is better off just getting the breasts.
All Our Fingers in the Pie,
Thank you! Only if you need to use the cream on top for frying the curry paste though.
Quinn,

ReplyDeleteKristy
Really, you are going to make your own homemade curry paste? That is going to be awesome. You will definitely have to post your results. That will be interesting to see the differences between store bought vs. homemade.
