Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 200g frozen king prawns
- 250ml (1 cup) chicken stock
Vegetables and Fruits:
- 350g sweet potatoes, diced
- 150g mango, diced
- 1 spring onion, sliced
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) wok oil
- 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) red Thai curry paste
- 200ml (6.8 fluid ounces) coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Thai fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lime juice
- 3/4 tablespoon (11.25 ml) chopped coriander
Instructions
- Sauté chopped spring onions in hot oil until they become translucent and release their aromatic essence.
- Introduce curry paste to the pan, stirring continuously until the spices bloom and create an intensely fragrant base.
- Pour in coconut milk, stock, and fish sauce, allowing the liquid to reach a vigorous boil while maintaining medium-high heat.
- Incorporate sweet potato chunks, reducing heat and letting the curry simmer for approximately 15 minutes until the vegetables become fork-tender.
- Gently introduce raw prawns into the simmering liquid, cooking until they transform into a vibrant pink color and appear fully opaque.
- Fold in ripe mango pieces and fresh lime juice, allowing the fruits to warm through and meld with the curry’s complex flavors for roughly one minute.
- Remove from heat and garnish generously with fresh, roughly chopped coriander leaves to enhance the dish’s visual appeal and provide a bright, herbaceous finish.
- Serve immediately in warmed bowls, ensuring each portion captures the curry’s rich, tropical essence.
Notes
- Choose fresh, ripe mangoes for the best sweet-tangy flavor that complements the prawns perfectly.
- Adjust curry paste quantity based on your spice tolerance, tasting and adding gradually for balanced heat.
- Swap prawns with tofu or chicken to create alternative protein options for different dietary preferences.
- Use low-sodium stock and fish sauce if watching salt intake, ensuring the dish remains flavorful without excess sodium.
