THAI GREEN CURRY PASTE



THAI GREEN CURRY PASTE image

Categories     Coriander

Number Of Ingredients 15

YIELDS: approx. 1 cup fragrant Thai Green Curry Paste (enough for 1 large curry)
1 stalk lemongrass, minced (see below), OR 3 Tbsp. frozen prepared lemongrass (available at Asian stores)
1-3 green chilies, sliced (if you can't find Thai green chilies, use jalapeno chilies)
1 shallot, sliced (OR 4 Tbsp. minced purple onion)
4-5 cloves garlic
1 thumb-size piece of galangal OR ginger, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh coriander leaves & stems, chopped
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground white pepper (available in most supermarket spice aisles)
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
3 Tbsp. fish sauce - if vegetarian: 3+1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. shrimp paste (available by the jar at Asian stores) - if vegetarian: substitute 1 additional Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. brown sugar
3-4 Tbsp. coconut milk (enough to blend ingredients & keep blades moving)

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or large frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. Add 2-3 Tbsp. oil and swirl around, then add the green curry paste. Stir-fry until fragrant (1 minute), then add 1 cup stock plus your curry ingredients (meat, seafood, or tofu/wheat gluten + vegetables). Simmer until ingredients are cooked, gradually adding more coconut milk until you're happy with the taste/thickness/amount of sauce. As you're cooking, you can also add 2-3 kaffir lime leaves (left whole) as well as any leftover lemongrass stalk pieces for even more flavor. When your curry is done, always perform a taste-taste for salt and spice. Add more fish or soy sauce if not salty enough, or some fresh-cut Thai red chilies if not spicy enough (OR add some dried crushed chili). If too spicy, add more coconut milk. If too salty or sweet, add a squeeze of lime juice. If too sour for your taste, add a touch more sugar. Finish your curry by sprinkling over some fresh basil & coriander. Store your green curry paste in an airtight container in the refrigerator for use later. Paste will keep 2 weeks; freeze thereafter. User Reviews
