I had Everything, Opportunities for Eternity
Today, I learned the secret to a good thai curry sauce.
Curry powder (shallots, tumeric, coriander, etc.), fish sauce, sugar and coconut milk.
What.
Actually, this truly surprised me. I find the smell and taste of ultra-pungent fish sauce to be beyond foul. The French term infecte comes to mind.
Buuuuutttttttttt throw in a healthy dose of coconut milk (and a bit of cane or brown sugar) tempers the taste enough to make it perfectly enjoyable.
I can't explain it. I used a bit of the above ingredients with some mushrooms, tofu and green beans (and some Gochujang. Long story) and now I have this amazing, buttery-tasting dish that is physically and gastronomically gorgeous.
