Gang ba curry with mushrooms

1. If the mushrooms are very large, cut in half; however it is traditional not to cut them in thai cooking.
2. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat.
3. Add the curry paste & stir-fry until it releases its aroma.
4. Add 3 c water, mushrooms, soy sauce & sugar.
5. Bring to a boil, adjust the seasonings if necessary.
6. Add the basil, kaffir & chili peppers.
7. Mixi gently & serve hot with rice.
8. Note: i make variations of this adding a bunch assorted, cubed vegetables which i stir-fry for a few moments before adding the water.
9. Using the vegetables gives a main dish rather than just a side dish.
10. Good vegetables in this curry are: eggplant, zucchini, corn, cauliflower, bamboo shoots (i"m not sure how thai this ingredient is though).
