3. Add coconut milk ,Fry until aromatic and until the oil has clearly separated from the coconut milk. 

4. Add fish sauce and sugar.

5. Stir fry until the sauce is mixed, then add lime leaves and chilly.

6. Put sauce on top of the fish. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
  

                         Usaually some recipe,They will tell you to put the fish in to choo chee curry directly BUT I did that before......@_@

The fish not cook when you serve.....all blood come out...

So That why we need to steam the fish first.



Steamed fish

 Also some recipe tell you to stir fried curry paste with coconut milk..

But from my recipes,I recomment to stir fried curry paste with cooking oil first..

Because after the curry paste mixes up with the oil well and cook...

After that you put coconut milk..your curry will turn to red colour ,look yummy and smell good the curry.

Follow instruction no.2

You can see in the photo below...after you put coconut milk ...you can see the oil turn to red colour...





Instruction no.3,4,5

after put all ingredient,put choo chee curry on top of the fish,put some chilly,kaffir lime leave and coconut milk.....YUMMMMM




Yum yum Choo Chee Pla Too ^_^
