I'm not sure what possessed me to buy a bottle of Thai Red Curry Sauce the last time I was at Trader Joes, but I've got it and need some ideas how to use it. Anyone tried this? Any ideas will be appreciated - no seafood, though, DH won't touch it

Cut up chicken breast in 1 " cubes. Put in crockpot with bottle of simmer sauce and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Serve over a bed of rice.

Yum! I wonder if that also have yellow curry. That is my absolute favorite thing to eat. I'd probably drink it straight out of the bottle!

Love red thai curry! If you think it's too spicy, add some coconut milk to cool it down.

Is it sauce (I've never seen Thai red curry sauce) or is it a paste? I use a ton of red curry paste in my cooking.

I've made Chicken with Sweet potatoes w/red curry. It was quick, easy and really good. I can't find that darn piece of paper I used for it, but this recipe has everything I remember using. I would think you could use the bottle of Thai red curry sauce to make it even faster. chicken sweet potato red curryIngredients 2 teaspoons peanut oil 300g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, chopped 1 brown onion, halved, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons red curry paste 400ml can coconut milk 1 cup chicken stock 1 tablespoon fish sauce 2 teaspoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon lime juice 250g orange sweet potato, peeled, cubed 425g can baby corn, drained, halved 1/2 cup frozen peas 225g can pineapple pieces, drained Method Notes Step 1 Heat oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Cook chicken, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until onion has softened. Add curry paste. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Step 2 Add coconut milk, stock, fish sauce, sugar and lime juice. Add sweet potato. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes or until potato is tender. Add corn, peas and pineapple. Cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Step 3 Top with coriander. Serve with rice. or this one: Chicken Sweet Potato red curryYum!

It is a bottled sauce, you don't need/want to add anything else to it.. Choose your protein, simmer in the sauce.

I use that sauce. I suggest adding a bit of coconut milk. I also add onions, bell peppers and potatoes, and chicken or shrimp. So delicious.

Thanks Kate and Elaine. I'll have to go see if we do in fact have it here. How easy!!!
Every now and then I like to whip up a batch of home made red curry paste and keep portions in the freezer, but the idea of having everything in a jar is very appealing for those "What are we going to have for dinner?" nights.
I would chuck in some chicken, capsicum, sweet potato or pumpkin and beans and call it done! If it's too hot add a bit more coconut milk.

Saute 2 diced garlic cloves, half a diced onion, and about 1" of diced fresh ginger. Add 1 lb of chicken breast cubes and cook. Add one can diced tomatoes and half a can of coconut milk. Add the dinner sauce and let simmer about 15 minutes. Serve over rice you've mixed with just enough tumeric to turn it all yellow (the rice, not the chicken mix). It's a favorite here and works just as well with the yellow Thai simmer sauce. When I make the yellow sauce, I also add hot sauce and a bit of Thai fish sauce and lemongrass paste (I buy it in a tube). Garnish with diced green onions.

I am glad you asked this I have wondered about this sauce for a long time. I think I will have to try it and maybe the yellow as well. I have never had Thai curry but it sounds interesting I like the idea if adding onions, potatoes and peppers as well as chicken or shrimp that sounds pretty yummy. I will have to pick up a can of coconut milk to.

There is red curry at my local Thai restaurant and it is the bomb. Talk about awesome tasting whatever it is. I think it's chicken and bamboo (the safe kind) and other stuff in it. It is sooooooo good over rice. We order it without spice in it and then the people at the table can spice to their liking. I love it!
