Thai "Light" Red Curry Chicken Recipe แกงไก่ใส่ฟักเขียว - Hot Thai Kitchen!

Here's a curry so good I can drink it....literally! Cuz what's special about this is that it's so light a brothy. Think comforting chicken soup, but with the flavours of a red curry. Winter melon absorbs the flavours like a sponge, which is why it's such a popular vegetable used in curries in Thailand. And for hardcore eaters out there, there's blood! Cubes of pork or chicken blood is not uncommonly added to curries in Thailand-a great way to add iron to your meal!

I have had pork's blood cubes a few times in Chinese dishes. Fascinating to see it applied now and I can show friends how it looks. I remember enjoying it. The meal looks delicious.

[@robc2201]

[@leehim2121]

[@CultureRecipe]

Indians make a stir fry or curry out of winter melon :) Never knew Thai people add chicken and make such a tasty curry out of it :) Need to cook it this weekend :) I love how you put a focus on a lot of local ingredients which are a great boost to one's health :)

[@zakuradragon]

Omg, I can relate my story of thinking Pork Blood as Chocolate Tofu when I was 4 years old haha!!!

[@monwk2699]

ชอบค่ะ ถ้ามีคำแปลไทยประกอบพูดจะขอบคุณมาก

[@IcedLatteAize]

I recommend everyone eat this curry with Jasmine rice or Rice Noodles (Khanom chin) that is so good

[@gloriadisu930]

Winter melon is like water melon, green color and very smooth the skin

[@shashalee6364]

[@tavitlertritsumpun7160]

น่าอร่อยมากครับ มีขนมจีนมั้ยครับ

[@ismatzahra3]

[@devarajyuvaraj3910]

Pailin can u upload a video of how to make macaroons????

[@jacobgarland3257]

Omfg. Did she seriously just say "gang guy fakkiew?" Sounds like somebody's taking the train. This is by far the funniest name for any dish I've ever heard. I can't wait to order this the next time I go to a Thai restaurant. Thanks again, Pailin.

[@nickamarit]

yummmm

[@mayakumari8200]

I wanted to add shrimp and little round green aubergine instead of melon how/ when should i add them while making this curry? And how long am I supposed to cook with these 2 ingredients. Iam making thai recipe for the 1st time so can u pl suggest.

[@JuztMeMe]

Great video! What pot are you using?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Le Creuset :)

[@sunhee423]

Can you create something with zoodles!?

[@KK-ke7ic]

Hi Pai, is this dish quite spicy? as my husband can't eat the food too spicy.

[@angeleigh08]

Hi Pai, hope you can cook sambal ikan bilis and share the recipe with us. I tasted this in SG and loved it so much! But i cant find a video that i can understand. Please please and thanks in advance! 😘

[@bianca5951]

We don't have winter melon where I live. Is potato or chayote substitute good?

[@lil-cakez]

We use pork blood to make black pudding here in Trinidad

[@christellaleow1491]

do a Luuk Chuup video!! 😀

[@maisondav1d]

Did you Take out the lime leaves or Can those be eaten?

[@dogmom007]

Okay, that winter melon in Thai sounds a lot like "&@*# and it made me smile 😂😜

[@MaverickZ89COD]

ummm... did anyone catch that winter melon translation? Not bashing.. Just found it hilarious 0:43

[@totallyspiessam1233]

Alex Li Lmao yeah

[@lydz121]

YES LOL! Glad someone had the same humour. haha

[@IcedLatteAize]

Thai name is not recommend LoL

[@kanupriyajaireth6226]

Alex Li thanks for putting it to my notice I didn't realise it until I read your comment

[@kaweejay]

Hahaha reading comments ppl mentioned about Fakkiaw. I know it sounds like Fuck but guys, this is foreign language. I remember when we learned English' s name -Johnson- which means 'short dick' we laughed so hard! 55+

[@paulsingh7506]

Yup ...

[@WinsVideos]

What is the size of the pot you used? It's exactly what I want to get for my mom.

[@chaleefoo1]

moo grob recipe next please !

[@timdella92]

Charles Lee oh yes please!

[@emmanuelleaiamijolene3512]

Hi Pailin, thank you for the recipe. How long can we keep this curry dish in the fridge considering it contains coconut milk?

[@someoneloveyou5294]

1 or 2 days

[@purawngailocano]

In my language, Ilocano, we call winter melon "tangkoy" and we call white gourd "tabungaw." My mom says that they're cousins that's why their names are so similar.

[@Mi3pig3n]

Looks so delicious. I cant get winter melon here in denmark, can i use something else?

[@peipei4082]

Mie Miller radish maybe?

[@mmmygc]

Sounds bizarre, but watermelon rind (white part only) is very similar to winter melon (bland), and is also used by cooks in south east asia. It's also non-wasteful. I would imagine daikon radish would be your best choice after that. If you live in a major city, there should be an asian grocery which stocks winter melon seasonally.

[@PailinsKitchen]

You can also try other kinds of squash or zucchini, I think that'll be quite nice.

[@Mi3pig3n]

Thank you very much 🤗🌸 I might skip the blood though 🙃

[@Shaniloka369]

I'm trying this next time off

[@joniedeltolentino9067]

here in the philippines, we have pork blood soup!

[@stefanilin7981]

Hello Pailin, I'm so interesting in making this dish but where can I find pork blood in Vancouver? Is it available in Chinese grocery stores?

[@PailinsKitchen]

I got this from a grocery store in Richmond (it's next to Chef Tony's restaurant). None at T&T downtown. But Chinatown probably has.

[@thefudgestix]

Is your brother just as adorable as you are!?

[@OSUbronco]

I see your sticky rice setup in the background. I had classmates from ISB (International School of Bangkok) use that at our reunion this year but would love some instructions.

[@timdella92]

Bruce W it basically is a steamer. You put washed rice on the basket and put it over that pot with boiling water.

[@cHemon]

Bruce W She has a video showing how to cook sticky rice using that thing. :)

[@OSUbronco]

Thank you! I looked but apparently not long enough.

[@OSUbronco]

timdella92 Thank you. I keep getting conflicting instructions on soaking the rice overnight or several hours or even just an hour. Now that I know she has a video about it I will watch it.

[@dawnreine9526]

Can I skip the Fish sauce and Thai Basil and replace it with curry leaves & Kaffir Lime Leaves?

[@bartmerrill1030]

I have always read and heard that one shouldn't boil coconut milk. Is this bad information? Can one use coconut cream instead of reducing the coconut milk?

[@TheCotzi]

IS the Wintermelon skin Edible?? When yes wouldnt it be better to leave ist on?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Edible as in it won't kill you, but it's not gonna be pleasant to eat..

[@Nocturne22]

"It's got a similAH flavor." Pai's New Zealand accent coming through!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Lol didn't even notice!

[@Pyrex92]

"If you haven't had it befoh" That whole sentence was New Zealand accent lol

[@tigerbalm666]

I use cold pressed virgin coconut oil in everything I kook

[@bribart402]

i wouldn't want to say the name of that dish 3 times fast! would sound naughty. LOL i had to take a double take and listen again. :P

[@akarimyomyat4162]

My asian mom spirit is screaming inside to put water in that empty coconut milk bottle so that you wouldn't waste any drops but oh well 😂

[@adamthehtkminion6750]

lol! Love it! Shee does actually do that usually - just not on camera :) Cheers! Adam

[@BlackPawGaming]

never seen that coconut milk before even though I live in thailand... where do you buy it?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Many big supermarkets have it!

[@cHemon]

Nat Nonthanasin It's " Ampawa" brand.

[@CK-zm8nz]

no bloopers again! my favorite part! noooo

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Sorry - we're getting too good! (will try to mess up more :))

[@jsizzle1405]

Please make a video for Kapoon . Thanks your beautiful

[@sishrac]

That winter melon looked like a large zucchini. Would a zucchini that size be an adequate substitute for winter melon?

[@marcpanther7924]

0:20 super huge cucumber

[@thisDogDayAfternoon]

Hi Pai. I live in a traditional farming village in Bali. We have our own Ayam Kampung (village chicken) so we can add chicken blood to the dish. I've never cooked with blood before and I'm a bit nervous about food poisoning. Do you know how I can collect the blood safely? Do I need to congeal it? How would I do that? Also as we don't have winter melon I was thinking of substituting with jackfruit. Jackfruit is used a lot here in pork stews and curries as it soaks up the stock and takes on a meaty flavor. Any reason why I can't use Jackfruit?

[@pul0y]

This reply's years late but maybe someone in the future can make use of it. Anyway, in my dad's family, when we kill the chicken we remove the feathers off the neck and clean it. After slashing through there, we then have the blood drip onto a small bowl with a smattering of salt scattered on the bottom. Then, let them sit. The blood congeals not too long afterwards. For pork blood, we do the same using large baking pans. You can stir gently at the start to help the salt distribute, but leave it alone for the most part. Blood from healthy animals is normally sterile, so just keep your utensils clean and be sure to heat the blood blocks through when cooking.

[@peid178]

fakkiew is hilarious 😂

[@MichaelBristow137]

I'll have to try winter melon. I've tried blood before. I don't really like the metallic taste of organ meats. I also tried tendons when I went to a restaurant the other day, and also not really a fan. I'm guessing if you grew up with it, the texture would be palatable. I really didn't like it. I'll try it again, because everything thing needs at least two tries.... I'm guessing that it still will be not something I'd order in the future...

[@Toast-wl1ik]

In chinese it's actually called "blood tofu" so you're not wrong :D

[@devarajyuvaraj3910]

And of course u must use less coconut Milk and add more curry paste for reduce the taste of coconut Milk and increase flavour chicken curry .

[@caseytwinn]

Tried winter melon at in spicy schezuan hot pot restaurant and knew I needed to cook with it at home. Didn't use pork blood but I did add enoki mushrooms towards the end and it was sooo good! Curry as a soup... I think I'm in love.

[@wlid88]

just to be clear, is it Thai basil or holy basil? because I have a pot of holy basil at home, if it's thai basil I will have to find someone who sells the plant.

[@cHemon]

Wilson Leonardy Thai basil for all the curries.

[@nanabhatsorn275]

Sweet basil is similar to Thai Basil. Holy Basil is used in Indian worship. It flavor more like pepper + clove & not sweet.

[@jongkitan7461]

hi pi pailin, your book is sold out in Holland, how can you help?

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Hi Jongki! Do any of the links for online ordering work for you? See hot-thai-kitchen.com/htk-cookbook/

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Really?! Sorry about that - will ask her about it when we're filming later today and get back to you if I have any news.

[@richardchua8006]

Can you use chicken stock instead of water to make it more chickeny?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Absolutely!

[@Dominicancali]

What is that you say when you start your video?

[@devarajyuvaraj3910]

I will send u the photo when I cook .

[@cynthiaxiong1120]

Would it be ok to boil the chicken first, skim off the fat, then pour in the fried coconut milk/curry mixture?

[@PailinsKitchen]

But your chicken won't be as flavourful cuz you're not simmering it in the curry paste...what you could do is remove the skin and fat before hand.

[@marcpanther7924]

0:39 It should be "Gaeng Gai F****". It's a family-friendly show.

[@pumbar]

Fakkiew - rather unfortunate choice of words, lol.

[@cafe80sarigachu]

There’s no Thai basil here in Tokyo.

[@maggiebaidoo2114]

Ur chicken is fresh

[@tomliburdi6207]

Besides the nice dish I like your spring colour dress very much!

[@djhinrg]

Squash or Pumpkin. . . .:)

[@stephenwmsmith]

I'm assuming that because you use his apartment, Adam gets lots of the food that you cook. Is there anything you've cooked that he's been "Oh heck no you can have it" to? Or is it all "Get in my belly"

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

lol - hi Stephen! Yes I can be a tiny bit squeamish on some things (Pai would say "Very!") - so I did have a "hmmmm" moment with the congealed blood ... but I was brave and gave it a shot, and it turns out to be really good! Not what I was expecting at all. Otherwise off the top of my head I'm not keen on brains, organs, chao tofu, natto or getting anywhere near balut (sorry to my Chinese, Japanese and Filipino friends). :)

[@vanillaposh]

Wow! Adam you're so lucky! You get to taste all Pai is cooking!!!!

[@tribefenatic]

My next great prank, give someone pork blood making them think it's chocolate haha! what a laugh seeing them eat it

[@juels508]

7:20 😂
