Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

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 Kaffir leaves
6 Red chili peppers, 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).
