Red Curry Prawns over Konjac Rice

Red curry paste fried until the coconut cream splits, prawns dropped in at the last minute, over konjac rice. Rich enough that the rice is beside the point.

Ingredients

  • 170 g Konjac rice
  • 180 g Shrimp
  • 110 ml Coconut milk
  • 25 g Red curry paste
  • 1½ tbsp Peanut oil
  • 12 g Thai basil
  • 2 tsp Fish sauce
  • 15 g Bell pepper (optional)

Method

  1. Peel the prawns, slice the pepper into strips and pick the basil leaves.
  2. Drain the konjac rice and rinse it thoroughly under cold water, then dry-fry it in a hot pan for 3 minutes, shaking often, until the water has driven off and the grains squeak.
  3. Heat the peanut oil in a pan over medium with the thick cream from the top of the coconut milk, and fry the red curry paste for 3 minutes until it darkens and the oil separates out red around the edges.
  4. Pour in the remaining coconut milk with the pepper strips and bring to a bare simmer for 4 minutes, keeping it below a boil so it stays smooth.
  5. Slip in the prawns and cook 2 minutes only, until they turn pink. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the fish sauce and basil.
  6. Spread the konjac rice in a bowl and ladle the red curry and prawns over it with all the split red oil.
