INGREDIENTS
3
lbs boneless beef shank, cut into 2-inch cubes
3 tbsp
fish sauce, divided
2 tbsp
brown sugar or 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
1 4 ounce can
(1/2 cup) red curry paste (I use the whole can; if your heat tolerance is lower, you can use half or ¾ of a can. Watch out if you use red curry paste that comes in a plastic tub; it tends to be much spicier than the type that comes in a can.)
2
heaping tablespoons of Madras-style curry powder (If I can’t find a Thai brand, I use Roland.)
1 tbsp
turmeric powder (This is kind of optional since there’s already turmeric in the curry powder. But additional turmeric results in a curry with more vibrant color.)
2 cups
water
1 13.5 ounce can
coconut milk
2 tbsp
vegetable oil
1
large shallots, peeled and thinly-sliced lengthwise
About ½ lb bean sprouts
About ½ lb green beans, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
About 8 ounces of dried flat rice noodles
4
large eggs
