I'm going to make myself sick, aren't I? (Thai food overload!)

Interesting. There are only about 5-6 recipes online for pla rad prik and none have coconut. Adding some turmeric per Michael’s notes is probably pretty easy (a tablespoon?) but I wonder how much coconut milk (I assume) to add. And obviously, oer Mosca ‘s rule, we must double the garlic at least and add more peppers. This seems like the “best” recipe to start with as a base.

Did you look at this one https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/pla-raad-prik/ ? No coconut, but very authentic.

hoovarmin I did actually . I am not sure why i didn’t link that one but I must have closed the window accidentally. I agree it looks good but still left with the coconut question.

The color of this is extremely close to what I had:

They call it a 'classic Thai dish' but I can't find anything about it on internet. It must be called something else.

Michael_in_TX I just posted my recipe for Thai Basil Chicken which tastes very much like the one I had at Nipa Hot in College Station in the 1990s: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...-basil-chicken

I live a few hours from Phx and have family there, so I'll try Zen Cafe soon.

Hope this helps!

ETA: I find Maesri brand canned red curry paste to be excellent.
