Green Curry With Zucchini
- 1/4 cup green curry paste
- 4 ounces bamboo shoots
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 limes
- 2 kaffir lime leaves fresh
- 5 zucchini
- olive oil
- 1 handful fresh cilantro
- Prepare the Thai Jasmine Rice as per the instructions on the rice packet.
- Shred finely the kaffir lime leaves.
- Mix the coconut milk with the kaffir lime leaves and set aside for infusion.
- Heat olive oil in wok or deep frying pan.
- Cook green curry paste by stirring around the base of the wok or pan until fragrant.
- Drain and rinse the bamboo shoots.
- Squeeze the limes.
- Combine the fish sauce, water and lime juice and set aside
- Add bamboo shoots to the wok or pan and ensure well covered by the green curry paste.
- Add the coconut milk and the kaffir lime leaves to the pan.
- Add the other liquid formed from the diluted fish sauce and freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Simmer the bamboo shoots and the liquid in the wok or pan uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Remove the flowers, if any, from the zucchini and set aside for making tempura or adding to a side salad if desired.
- Wash the skins and cut off the tops and bottoms of each zucchini.
- Cut the zucchini thickly as wedges or as regular thick slices.
- Add the zucchini to the simmering curry liquid and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Once cooked, set aside for 3 to 5 minutes. This will reduce the temperature of the liquid of the zucchini green curry before eating and the flavor will continue to blend.
- Dress the curry with a handful of fresh cilantro (coriander) and serve with cooked Thai Jasmine Rice.
