Thai style, wok – recipe

Depending on your work speed, you should bring the water to a boil while you cook. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat, add the rice and a teaspoon of salt, stir briefly, and let it swell over very low heat without stirring. After 10-15 minutes, the rice is ready. Strain the bean sprouts, rinse them, and let them drain. Wash the meat, pat it dry, and cut into bite-sized strips. Trim and wash the spring onions, then cut them into pieces about 1 cm wide. Deseed the bell pepper and cut them into small cubes, diamonds, or strips. Finely chop the garlic, sprinkle with salt, and crush it lightly with a spoon. Now heat a little oil in a hot wok and fry the meat. Shortly after, add the garlic and salt mixture and a teaspoon of red curry paste, and fry everything for a while. Now add the bell peppers and spring onions to the wok and fry them too. Don’t forget to add the bean sprouts; add them too. Meanwhile, push the meat to the side. Now deglaze with about 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the coconut milk. Once the coconut milk is hot, you can start seasoning. I recommend adding a little coriander, ginger, and chili (dry form), and if you need more kick, more of the hot curry paste. Add more salt with soy sauce than with salt. If you have fresh basil, add the leaves after cooking. If you only have bland, dry basil on hand, you can add them now. Let everything cook briefly again, serve, and eat. Normally, you eat such quick stir-fries in a bowl with rice, which is particularly useful because the rice is then enveloped in the delicious sauce. If you want something pleasing to the eye, you can of course also arrange cleverly mounds of rice on plates.
