Just came back from Thailand and I learned how to make authentic green curry and I had to share with you guys! It’s so good! It comes together so quickly and you’ll love it! Check out the video of me learning how to make it. In my recipe, I omit the mushroom cube. (you can’t find it in the US and I don’t miss it)
Green Curry
serves 2
2 tbsp. coconut oil
1-3 tbsp. green curry paste
8 oz. firm tofu, drained and dried
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup water
1-2 red chilies, cut into long strips (or sub with jalapeno)
1 carrot, sliced
3 Thai eggplant, quartered
2 long beans, cut into bite size pieces (or sub with green beans)
1 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
1 tbsp. palm sugar (or raw sugar)
1/4 cup Thai basil leaves
Heat pot over medium heat and add oil. Sauté the green curry paste until aromatic. Add the tofu and stir. Add the coconut milk and water and bring to quick boil.
When the oil starts to rise to the top, add the chilies, carrot, Thai eggplant, and long beans. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 6-10 minutes.
Turn off heat, add the soy sauce, sugar, and basil leaves. Stir well and serve right away with rice.
Our this recipe , my mother made a once after she arrived from Thailand , I liked it a lot.
Nice recipe but are you aware of the fact that nearly every curry paste contains shrimps?
If so which curry paste would you recommend since I have not found any green curry paste without shrimps.
Hi Ralph! I usually make my own curry paste or buy this one from Thai Kitchen which is vegan: http://www.thaikitchen.com/Products/Sauces-and-Pastes/Green-Curry-Paste Hope you enjoy!
A little late but thanks for the reply luckily we also get that paste in Switzerland.
Tahnks a lot (also for your additional recipes)!
Just a short comment on the Thaikitchen paste. As I said we also have that paste in Switzerland but it seems that this is not the same product because the one to buy here contains fish sauce. I found an alternative brand called COCK BRAND where e.g. the red curry paste does not contain any animal based ingredient.
Best Ralph
Thanks for letting me know Ralph! They assure the one here in the states is vegan, but often ingredients are different in other countries. Hope you’ve enjoyed!
