Here’s a recipe I  make often because we have the worst Thai food in our area. I    also just shared my Thai Basil Fried Rice recipe so check that out too! This penang curry is super easy to make and it’s taught me that thai food does not have to be intimidating at all! This curry can be made with fish, or chicken as well and it is great to meal prep ahead of a busy week. I   love having it with jasmine rice or i’ll even toss in some rice noodles and have it like a Thai Curry Noodle soup situation!!

A few things I    love for this recipe are ingredients from the asian market like:

Maesri Curry Paste

Dark Soy Sauce

Rice Wine Vinegar

You can all of the above on Amazon as well if you don’t have a Asian grocery store near you! I    hope you enjoy this recipe and if you try it, be sure to tag me on @thechutneylife so I  can see all of your wonderful creations! As always, Happy Eating 🙂
