Notes
This recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of red curry paste. If you are not a fan of spice, using 2 tablespoons will make it milder, and if you love spice, you can amp it up by using 4 tablespoons.
Store Thai Red Curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It can be frozen for up to 3 months; however, the vegetables may become slightly mushy upon thawing.
Reheat the curry on the stove over medium heat until hot throughout, stirring occasionally. If the curry seems too thick after refrigeration or freezing, add a little water or coconut milk while reheating to restore its creamy texture. It's best not to microwave as this can affect the texture and flavor.
