## Tips

- You can use any ground meat like chicken, turkey, or pork. You can also use two blocks of extra firm tofu, pressed and crumbled, instead of meat.
- Leave the meat undisturbed to get a nice, dark brown crust.
- Every brand of red curry paste is very different, so taste and adjust the amount according to your preference.
- A tiny bit of sugar really helps round out the flavor of the curry.
