Thai Red Curry Chicken (Pad Prik/Paprik). Great recipe for Thai Red Curry Chicken (Pad Prik/Paprik). The Pad Prik that is which is sold by hawker stalls where I live, really doesn't do the actual dish justice.

This Thai chicken curry is case in point. In developing the recipe, the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to cook the chicken. Add the chicken, turn up the heat to medium-high, and start stir frying constantly, mix the chicken with the curry paste. When the chicken is fully cooked, add the beans and red pepper. Stir quickly until everything is mixed together.
