Another Wagamamas Favourite: Raisukaree

I'm going on holiday tomorrow so I needed to use up as many perishable ingredients in my fridge as possible. Luckily, the ingredients that I had were almost perfect for making Raisukaree (another Wagamamas dish that I love). Raisukaree is a delicious coconut and lime Thai curry that I highly recommend you try and this recipe is a brilliant imitation of the Wagamamas dish.

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 250g King prawns (or chicken if preferred - one fillet per person)
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp thai red curry paste
• 2 Tbsp fish sauce
• 2-3 cloves of garlic
• chopped root ginger
• selection of vegetables (this recipe: 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper, 1/2 cauliflower)
• 1 chopped onion 
• coconut milk (or creamed coconut but you will need to add milk/soy milk)
• 1 red chilli (or chilli powder/flakes but this is less potent)
• 1 chicken stock cube
• ground coriander
• garam masala
• 1 lime
• rice
• peanut and sesame oil (not essential but adds a lovely, subtle Asian flavour)

Recipe:

1. Prep the vegetables, cutting them into bite-sized chunks and strips to add some texture. Also finely chop the garlic cloves and fresh ginger root.
   

   
   

   

2. Heat the peanut oil and sesame oil in a pan until very hot and add the onion, garlic and ginger. They should sizzle as they hit the pan. I managed to get both the sesame and peanut oil from Lidl very cheaply for £1.19 per bottle recently and you only need to use a small amount.
   
   
   
3. After a few minutes, add the rest of the chopped vegetables. (If you are using chicken, this is the point to add it) Once the vegetables start to cook, add the Thai red curry paste, soy sauce and fish sauce.
   
   
   
4. Turn the heat down to simmer and add the coconut milk, along with any spices you are using (eg, garam masala, ground coriander, chilli powder). Simmer on a low heat and start cooking the rice.


5. Once the rice is almost cooked, add the king prawns. These only need to cook for 3-5 minutes as they start to go tough if they are overcooked.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Once the prawns are cooked, serve with rice and naan bread. Garnish with a wedge of lime and enjoy!
