Thai Chicken Curry with Bamboo Shoots
November 12th, 2010Recipes, 30-Minute Meals, Recipes, Recipes, Thai Recipes11 Comments
On my Rasa Malaysia Facebook fan page (“like” me if you haven’t), a reader asked me how to prepare Thai-style chicken curry with bamboo shoots, like the ones commonly served at Thai restaurants here in the United States. It was a coincidence that I had some leftover bamboo shoots in the refrigerator so I made a small pot of Thai chicken curry with the leftover.
Talking about bamboo shoots, some readers also commented that some bamboo shoots have a very strong and funky smell. That’s a truth as I recalled buying bamboo shoots reeking of horse urine (I am not kidding!). The safest option is to buy canned bamboo shoots, which have been cooked and sliced into pieces. They are available at most supermarkets and Asian grocery stores, or online..
Anyway, here is my quick and easy Thai chicken curry recipe with bamboo shoots. If you love Thai food, you will certainly love this rich and creamy curry.

Thai Curry
Thai curry is gaining popularity thanks to the many great Thai restaurants in the United States. Making a great bowl of Thai curry to go with soft and fluffy jasmine rice is easier than you think, even though you might not be familiar with Thai ingredients. I love all sorts of curry but I find Thai curry one of the…
Red Curry Recipe
I love red curry and Thai curries in general–be it green curry, Panang curry, massaman curry, yellow curry, or red curry. There are many red curry recipes, each with slightly different ingredients, for example: potatoes, bamboo shoots, winter squash, pumpkins, Thai egg plants, etc. Chicken is commonly used for red curry, but there are pork red curry and beef red curry. Regardless of the…
Green Curry Recipe
I first stumbled upon Thai 4 Real / Bonbini on Foodgawker a few months ago; it was food love at first sight. I am very glad to have Thip (Thip is a professional baker at two (2) fine dining restaurants in San Francisco!) as a guest writer on Rasa Malaysia, so please welcome Thai 4 Real / Bonbini as she…
Thai Panang Curry with Beef
When I requested my friends at TX Bar Organics, North Cal for their most suitable cuts of organic grass fed beef to showcase my Thai beef Panang curry post, they instantly delivered several choices, all beautifully vacuumed-packed in an ice box, and distinctively labeled. After careful deliberation, I decided on chuck roast (click on the picture gallery above), which by…

I love Thai curries and always order this at Thai restaurants. Thanks so much for this chicken curry recipe, I always wonder how to make it.
Thanks, I am glad that you find this Thai chicken curry recipe useful. :)
I always have a can of Thai curry paste in my kitchen cupboard. You can just about throw any meat and vegetables in it for a quick meal. This curry looks delicious!
Yep, me too. When I run out of ideas what to cook, I can always rely on a good pot of Thai chicken curry.
I love Thai food, but I normally make my own pastes, as I find the shop brought ones lack in taste a bit. Homemade ones punch plenty of flavour.
Of course. It will be great if you can share the recipe of the homemade curry paste.
Sounds lovely. I always use Mae Ploy pastes too. Can’t beat them.
I recall enjoying lemak bamboo shoots (with prawns, so you will love it) curry and balitong/potatoes? curry cooked by a friends mother (Nonya) who was really a very great cook. That was over 40 years ago long before most of you were born. So this Thai bamboo shoot curry brings back memories for me. Bamboo shoots are believed to be very “hong”.
Will try to cook the bamboo shoot/prawns curry next time I go to the market. Wonder if adding slices of brinjals into the curry will be nice. Adding petai may overpower the fragrance of the bamboo shoots.
Just a thought. Maybe someday you can give readers the recipe for frying champedak together with boiling champedak seeds to eat. Malays cook young champedak curry and the banana flower buds curry also. Both are also nice.
Aiyo….I really hate it when the bamboo shoots smell like horse urine. I get what you mean. There are Thai restaurants here serving Thai curry with smelly bamboo shoots, then it spoils the whole dish! How come they still serve it? arrghhhh…..
We just had this and Panang Curry Beef the other day….will definitely make this soon.
Thai soups are my favorites…Especially with coconut milk!
