20 Minutes in a Frying Pan: Thai Green Curry
- 50 grams Thai green curry paste
- 1 can Canned coconut milk
- 2 to 3 leaves Kaffir lime leaves
- 2 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 Vegetables and proteins of your choice
- Cut up all the vegetables and meats into bite-sized pieces.
- Fold the kaffir lime leaves in half, and take out the veins.
- (This makes the leaves more fragrant.)
- Put 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and the jar of green curry paste in a frying pan over low heat.
- Stir fry the paste slowly while mixing with the oil.
- It burns easily, so pay attention.
- Cook for about 5 minutes.
- It will start to smell very fragrant.
- When the paste is well cooled, pour about 1/3 of the top of the coconut milk (the thickest part) into the frying pan, and simmer over medium heat.
- When the oil comes to the surface (separation), add the vegetables and protein and stir fry quickly.
- Add the remaining coconut milk and the kaffir lime leaves.
- Simmer briefly.
- Fill the coconut can halfway with water, and add the water to the pan.
- Season with fish sauce and sugar.
- When the solid ingredients are cooked through, the curry is done.
- If the flavor is lacking, adjust with fish sauce.
- Be sure to simmer over low heat only from Step 6 on.
- The separated oil will become incorporated again.
- We usually add chicken and eggplant, or pork and kabocha squash, plus maitake or shimeji mushrooms.
- If you think it needs more flavor, drizzle on some fish sauce.
