Ingredients & Measurements

  • 2 tb to 3 tb red curry paste
  • 1 tb fish sauce
  • 1/2 tb palm sugar
  • 24 coffin bay scallops
  • 125 ml coconut milk
  • 5 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 lg fresh red chilli, julienned
  • 2 tb coriander leaves
  • 1 jasmine rice

Chef's Sourcing & Quality Tips:

  • Produce & Aromatics: Always use fresh whole aromatics and seasonal herbs rather than dehydrated powders when possible.
  • Cooking Oils: Utilize cold-pressed oils with appropriate smoke points such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
  • Salt & Seasoning: Season from a modest height above the pan to ensure an even, uniform crystalline dispersion.

Storage & Freezing Tips

  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight glass container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Warm gently in a skillet on medium-low heat with a lid to keep the fish tender. Avoid microwaving to prevent rubbery texture.
  • Freezing: We do not recommend freezing cooked fish as it degrades the texture.
