This recipe is modelled on the red curry dish at our local Thai restaurant. It was an absolute tragedy when I realized we couldn’t go there anymore. But, this recipe has been an amazing substitute!
One of my favourite things about this recipe is how versatile it is! When left unsupervised, my husband and I have tried throwing in everything from bean sprouts and bok choy, to spinach and kale. Your crisper is the limit, friend! Open your Monash app and go wild!
Heads up, if you’re adding leafy or fragile things like bean sprouts, add them when you add the coconut milk so they don’t get wilty and sad. No one wants to eat sad lettuce!

Keep It FODMAP Friendly
Your whole family will love this low FODMAP red curry! Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe FODMAP friendly.
First up, chicken. Because chicken is a protein, it doesn’t have any FODMAPs. That means you can eat as much as you want without adding to your FODMAP load.
Next up, ginger. According to Monash University, ginger doesn’t have any detectable FODMAPs. So, ginger won’t add anything to your FODMAP load, either.
We’re also using a ton of veggies in this recipe. Just so you know, according to the Monash app, carrots don’t have any detectable FODMAPs. That means they won’t add anything notable to your FODMAP load.
Heads up, Monash recently retested red bell peppers. While red peppers were previously listed as “eat freely” after being retested, they now have a small low FODMAP serving. According to the Monash app, red bell peppers are low FODMAP in servings of 1/3 of a cup (43 g) per sitting. Servings of 1/4 pepper (57 g) or more are high in the FODMAP fructan.
We’ll be using 1 bell pepper, which works out to 38 g per serving. This is well within Monash’s recommended range.
We’ll also be using bok choy. According to the Monash app, bok choy is low FODMAP in servings of 1 cup per sitting. Servings of 1 and 1/3 cups are high in the polyol sorbitol.
This recipe uses 1 cup of bok choy, which works out to 2.5 tbsp per person or 1/8 of a serving. This is well within Monash’s recommended range.
Next up, leeks. Leeks are low FODMAP in servings of 2/3 of a cup. Servings of 1 cup or more are high in the polyol mannitol. Remember, when cooking with leeks, only the green parts are low FODMAP.
We’ll be using 1/2 a cup of leeks total. This works out to 1.3 tbsp of leeks per person which is well within Monash’s recommended serving size.
You’ll also need a red curry paste! If you don’t have any handy, grab my low FODMAP red curry paste recipe. Because you’re only adding two tbsp of curry paste to a 6 serving dish, as long as you’re using a low FODMAP paste, you won’t get any notable FODMAPs here.
Last but not least, coconut milk. According to Monash University, coconut milk is low FODMAP in servings of 1/4 cup per sitting (60ml). Servings of 1/2 a cup or more are high in the polyol sorbitol.
Our recipe uses one can (400ml) of coconut milk. This works out to 1/4 cup per serving, which is within Monash’s recommended range.
