 |
|
Does anybody know the korean word for fermentated fish sauce? I want to make a thai red curry. I have the coconut milk, bamboo shoots, curry paste, and lemon grass, but can't find fish sauce.
I asked my gf but she has no idea (she can't cook)
also the korean word for coriander/Cilantro. I have some growing but it is not ready yet.
cheers |

You'll find fish sauce in lots of supermarkets in the foreign section. Not at EMart, mind you, but at any other decent supermarket.
Coriander is 'gosu' and you'll find this a bit more of a challenge unless you live near an area with South East Asian workers or Itaewon. Wherever you got lemongrass from should also have coriander. |

| Fish sauce is easy to find...look around. Personally, I don't put fish sauce in Panang and don't know any Thai cooks who do. |

Costco sells premade red curry sauce. All you need to do is add the veggies and meat.
its pretty good. What can I put in it to give it that Thai spicy flavor? Red Chili oil jsut doesn't make it taste right. |

my recipie is to fry the curry paste with onion and garlic, add fish sauce (open all windows as it will stink)
add lemon grass (if you have it) and meat (can be pork, chicken or seafood), and chilli (gocho does not work as it is too dry a heat) plus any solid mushrooms.
add a can of coconut milk/cream and bamboo shoots plus water/stock if needed.
simmer (longer the better)
add veges and any soft mushrooms, maybe 10-15 min before serving
just before serving add fresh coriander
serve on rice
not authenic but I have never had a complaint nor leftovers |

Tsk.
This is how you should do it:
Take the following -
a few stalks of lemongrass, appropriately trimmed.
a knuckle of galangal, peeled
twenty or so kaffir lime leaves
a teaspoon or so of tumeric
some cumin
five or six small green chillis, seeds and all
three cloves of garlic
some tamarind, either dried or fresh; probably dried
a big gloop of oil
Take all of the above, chop the lot and stick it in a food processor. Reduce it to a paste.
Fry an onion til it starts to brown. Add the paste you made above until it also starts to brown. Add coconut milk. Simmer it for 10 mins and then put it aside.
Stir-fry some fresh veg and seafood on a very hot hot heat.
Add the sauce from above, then add fish sauce.
At the very end, add some freshly chopped coriander and lime juice.
Serve with rice. Or whatever you want.
Finish meal, and lie back and accept blowjob from all guests. They will also do the washing-up. |

Just make your own: toss a nasty ass fish into a box, let it rot and stew in jungle maggots for a fair while (you can throw in some pineapple for kicks), then squeeze every last drop of the chunky malodorous putrescence out into a jar or something. Then eat it. Or, it you want to be more authentic, substitute the above box for some leaves and bury the fish in the jungle for a long while instead.
But don't put it in panang, it just isn't done. |
