Fragrant Thai Red Curry Bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that will transport your taste buds to the streets of Thailand. These bite-sized treats are bursting with flavor and are perfect for any occasion.
To make Fragrant Thai Red Curry Bites, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/4 cup of cooked jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon of red curry paste
- 1/4 cup of coconut milk
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and onions)
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
To start, cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the red curry paste and coconut milk until well combined.
In a separate pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened. Add the red curry paste mixture to the pan and stir until the vegetables are coated.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan. Stir until the rice is fully coated in the curry mixture. Add the chopped cilantro, basil, and mint to the pan and stir until well combined.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until the bites are slightly golden brown.
Fragrant Thai Red Curry Bites are a perfect combination of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors. The appearance of these bites is vibrant and colorful, with the red curry paste giving them a beautiful red hue. The texture is soft and chewy, with a slight crunch from the vegetables. The taste is fragrant and aromatic, with the herbs and spices adding depth and complexity to the dish.
In two words, these dishes can be described as 'Thai-inspired bites'. The three main ingredients are jasmine rice, red curry paste, and coconut milk.
