Treat your ingredients with care...
- Thai green curry paste — Use store-bought or homemade paste for convenience and authenticity. Adjust the amount according to your desired level of spiciness.
- Coconut milk — Shake the can well before using to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Fish sauce — Look for high-quality fish sauce to enhance the umami flavor of the curry.
- Bamboo shoots — If using canned bamboo shoots, rinse them thoroughly to remove any brine or excess saltiness.
- Basil leaves — Use fresh Thai basil leaves for an authentic touch. If unavailable, regular basil leaves can be used as a substitute.
Tips & Tricks
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less green curry paste.
- To make the curry more indulgent, substitute some of the coconut milk with coconut cream.
- Customize the vegetables according to your preference and seasonal availability.
- For a burst of freshness, squeeze some lime juice over the curry before serving.
Serving advice
Serve the Thai Green Curry hot with a side of fragrant jasmine rice. The rice helps to balance the spiciness of the curry and provides a satisfying base for the flavors to shine. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added pop of color and aroma.
Presentation advice
Present the Thai Green Curry in a vibrant and colorful manner by arranging the vegetables and protein on top of the curry sauce. Sprinkle some fresh basil leaves on top for an appealing garnish. Serve it in traditional Thai ceramic bowls for an authentic touch.
