     Title: Gaeng Ped Gai Naw Mai (Red Chicken Curry With Bamboo Shoo
Categories: Chicken, Thai
     Yield: 4 Servings

   1/2 c  Coconut cream (125 ml)
     2 tb Red curry paste
    12 oz Boneless chicken meat
          - (350 g); cut into
          - bite-sized pieces
 1 1/2 c  Thin coconut milk (375 ml)
    10 oz Bamboo shoots (300 g);
          - sliced
     2 tb Fish sauce
   1/2 ts Salt
 1 1/2 ts Sugar
     5    Kaffir lime leaves; halved
     1    Fresh red chili;
          - thinly sliced
   1/2 c  Thai basil leaves (20 g)

 Preparation time: 15 minutes
 Cooking time: 20 minutes

 If using fresh bamboo shoots, peel and slice and place in a saucepan.
 Cover with water and boil until just tender, about 5 minutes. Canned
 bamboo shoots should be drained, sliced, and boiled for 2 to 3
 minutes in a little water to remove any metallic taste.

 Bring the coconut cream to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat.
 Reduce to low heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until the surface
 takes on an oily sheen. Add the red curry paste and chicken, stir
 well, and add the coconut milk and bamboo shoots.

 Continue to simmer over low heat until the chicken is tender, about
 10 minutes, then add fish sauce, salt, sugar, kaffir lime leaves,
 and chili. Remove from heat and garnish with basil.
