This is a fairly short (but delicious) ingredient list. comment icon 434 more comments They have this dish called Pra Ram Long Song that I first met and fell in love with when I was in college. Ever since then, it has become one of those dishes where I can’t NOT order it. Even though I want to branch out and try something new which I know in my head will also be delicious, I cannot pull myself away from this mesmerizing dish. I think it might be magical food hypnosis spell or something. After many attempts, I have created this Thai Red Curry Sauce that is making me so happy on so many levels. It is literally the best-tasting and most simple Thai recipe that I’ve ever made. And bonus: you can put it on anything. Chicken, rice, vegetables, noodles, soups, stir frys, and I am going to go there: salads. I now have this recipe memorized. Until death do us part.
Coconut milk Peanut butter Red curry paste (Thai Kitchen is my go-to – affiliate link) Fish sauce Lime juice Brown sugar Garlic Peanuts
All of this comes together to make a creamy, salty, sweet, peanutty, tangy, delicious curry sauce.

What To Serve With This Curry Sauce
This sauce is the base for anything you’d like to add to it. I love to use the formula below, but you can make your own, too!
Rice or rice noodles Proteins (chicken, shrimp, or tofu are best – I like to sauté it in a separate pan, and then add the sauce and let it simmer together to finish cooking) Veggies (broccoli, snap peas, or spinach are my favorites!) Herbs for finishing (cilantro and scallions are very yum here)
Three Top-Rated Curry Recipes
5 from 110 reviews Last note: I know the fish sauce might take some convincing, but it is fairly easy to find at any grocery store and REALLY WORTH IT. Don’t worry – it does not make the sauce taste like fish; it just makes it saltier and adds lots of deep flavor. Don’t leave it out! Except if you are vegetarian or vegan, then you can try swapping in soy sauce, miso, and/or hoison for the fish sauce.
