The challenge: The flavors are always too bland.

Our solut ion: It’s true that the long, slow cooking period mellows flavors. But bold
spices, in bold amounts, will hold their own over time. Here, we start with big
flavor from a good amount of curry paste and fish sauce, and we finish with fresh
touches of cilantro and lime juice that amplify the taste of everything. Serve over a
bed of brown rice or brown rice noodles to catch all the sauce.
