    Stir in the shallots plus the red curry paste, bird's eye chilies and white pepper; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.

  4. 4

    Add the bamboo shoots, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

    Pour in the fish sauce, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the bamboo shoots is tender.

    Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with thai basil and a squeeze of lime.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
