Instructions

  1. 1

    Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath, peel, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.

  4. 4

    Pour in coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Add fish sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, and white pepper. Stir well.

  6. 6

    Add sliced bell pepper and bamboo shoots (if using). Simmer for 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Gently add the peeled boiled eggs to the curry sauce. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the eggs to absorb the flavors.

  8. 8

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.

  9. 9

    Garnish with fresh Thai basil leaves and serve hot with steamed jasmine rice.
