Gang ba curry with mushrooms

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:

• 10 oz Straw mushrooms
• 1/4 c Vegetable oil
• 2 1/2 tb Gang ba curry paste see -- recipe
• 2 tb Soy sauce
• 1/2 ts Sugar optional
• 1/2 c Oriental basil chopped
• 2 ea Kaffir leaves
• 6 ea Red chili peppers

Instructions:

cut into -- 4 or 5 pieces If the mushrooms are very large cut in half; however it is traditional not to cut them in Thai cooking. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the curry paste & stir-fry until it releases its aroma. Add 3 c water mushrooms soy sauce & sugar. Bring to a boil adjust the seasonings if necessary. Add the basil kaffir & chili peppers. Mix gently & serve hot with rice. NOTE: I make variations of this adding a bunch assorted cubed vegetables which I stir-fry for a few moments before adding the water. Using the vegetables gives a main dish rather than just a side dish. Good vegetables in this curry are: eggplant zucchini corn cauliflower bamboo shoots (I'm not sure how Thai this ingredient is though).
