Thai Duck Curry

Thai duck curry provides a fantastic flavorful red curry sauce to complement a divine roasted duck. This scrumptious recipe contains delicious fruits and vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes, pineapple, basil and eggplant. These offer delightful flavors and add an incredible fragrance to the entire curry.

Roasting duck is an art form among Thai people. In general, chefs prepare the bird by roasting, stewing with five spices and frying. Many restaurants offer cooked duck served with steaming rice or noodles. Those come with a spicy sauce to extend the flavor spectrum. My favorite dishes are duck noodle soup, five spices duck with white rice and duck with egg noodles. Of course, I can’t forget duck curry!
