Instructions

1. 1

   Get your wok ripping hot and add the Coconut Oil — it should shimmer instantly.

2. 2

   Toss in the shallots and red curry paste for 15 seconds, no longer, so they perfume the oil without burning.

3. 3

   Add the bamboo shoots and stir-fry hard, keeping everything moving until just cooked through.

4. 4

   Throw in the bell pepper and spring onions, then splash in the fish sauce around the edge of the wok.

5. 5

   Toss twice more, kill the heat, and serve immediately over steamed rice — a stir-fry waits for no one.
