Also, Thai Kitchen’s Green Curry Paste and De Siam’s Thai Green Curry Paste are milder than Mae Ploy’s Green Curry Paste– so you can opt to use either of the first two instead. 😊 I chose only brands that have been around for a long time and have a good reputation; so they’re all coming in with a certain amount of cred. New brands are popping up all the time, but I wanted ones that have at least passed the test of time. Here I’ve used the homemade curry paste from the previous post, which honestly takes only a few minutes to make once you have the ingredients. But it requires a trip to the Asian Market. Add the potatoes and stir. Then, reduce to medium heat and cover the wok with a lid. Let simmer for 6-8 minutes.

Here are ingredients you'll need for an authentic Thai green curry. The bamboo shoots are a common vegetable used for green curry, but feel free to change it up. And if you are DIY-minded and have time, here's my homemade green curry paste recipe. For each type of paste, there’s a basic expectation of what it should taste like; but like any recipe, everyone has their own specific formula, hence all these brands. Ingredients: Green Chilli 31.0%, Lemongrass 21.0%, Garlic 18.5%, Salt 12.5%, Galangal 8.5%, Shrimp paste ( Shrimp (Crustacean) 80%, Salt 4.0%), Kaffir lime peel 2.0%, Coriander seed 1.0%, Pepper 0.5%, Cumin 0.5%, Turmeric 0.5%.

The salty nature of the sauce brings out all the flavors of the curry paste and contributes to the sweet-salty-spicy flavors that we love in Thai food. Avoid the unsavory fish sauce experience by investing in a quality fish sauce like Red Boat. Its simple ingredient list (anchovies + salt) means a pure and dimensional flavor that is undecidably not fishy. Thai green curry serving suggestions: bunch (a little over 1 cup) Thai Sweet Basil Leaves (reserve a few leaves from the bunch for garnish)

Vegetarian + vegan: make this recipe with all vegetables, or vegetables + tofu plus substitute soy sauce (or coconut liquid aminos) for the fish sauce and this recipe is vegetarian and vegan.

When frying your paste make sure it smokes, a LIGHTLY burnt paste will have positive effect on your dish. Veggies: Add your sweet potatoes, coconut milk, and curry paste to a large pot. Give it a stir, then let your sweet potatoes simmer and swim around in the coconutty broth for a bit. Toss your broccoli and tofu into the pot and simmer for a bit more until the broccoli turns bright green. For this recipe, we want curry paste, as it gives us the flexibility to enhance the flavors of this recipe to our liking. Recipe alterations: Adjust the quantity of the red and green chilies to taste according to your desired heat level. I’ve listed the Thai Dried Red Chilies, ground Thai Red Chili Pepper, and Chili Oil as optional and you can use as much or as little as you like, or omit them entirely if you’re eating with people who are not big on heat. When your curry is finished have a taste, you will usually find a touch of sugar 1/2 tsp will improve flavour, as will a touch of fish sauce for saltiness 1/2 tsp, this is all your preference so add small amounts at a time.
