Aside from pad thai, I'd have to say panang curry is my second favorite item to order when I get Thai take out. The warm coconut curry broth is luscious and velvety and packed with flavor and paired with warm, sweet Jasmine rice, its just about the best comfort food you could ask for.

Now it might seem like curry would be difficult to make, but its truly one of the quickest dishes to throw together as long as you stock all the ingredients regularly in your pantry. To key to curry: its ALL IN THE curry paste. This is pivotal to the flavor of your curry. Some brands I recommend: Mae Ploy, Maesri an Try My Thai. You can find the first two online or your local Asian market.

Start off by chopping all your ingredients into bite size pieces. Finely chop your garlic, shallots and ginger.
Once everything is prepped, heat up your pan on medium heat. Add your cooking oil and saute your aromatics (ginger, shallots, garlic).
Then add the mushrooms. Cook for about 1-2 minutes then add your bell peppers. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Move all the veggies to the edge and add your curry paste to the center. Cook the paste for a minute or so and then mix it into the veggies.
Now add your coconut milk, palm sugar and fish sauce.
Add the bok choy, snow peas, and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve with rice with a bowl of rice.

This really doesn't sound too difficult to make. Will have to give it a try!

What all goes into curry paste? I have plenty of curry powder so how can I substitute the powder for the paste?

  Curry paste is not the same as curry powder. You can find recipes for various curry pastes — red, green, or yellow — on the internet. Or look in the Thai section in your supermarket to purchase a bottle. They usually have an oil or water base and often some ground-up fresh ingredients so they don’t last indefinitely like the dry curry powders.

  I looked up what all goes into a Panang Curry paste so I could make my own, since not all locations have supermarkets with a Thai section”, and learned that some of what goes into it is already in this recipe (and I don’t like Chili’s anyway) so I did a short-cut version and substituted 1tsp. curry powder for ea Tbs. curry paste. I also added ground roasted peanuts & lime zest. It may not have the same “punch” that the paste would give, but took a lot less time.
