Thai Green Curry Paste – Chochaba pre made this for you
This makes about 120g of paste. This is certainly enough to make two curries. Chorchaba’s tip is to cook it off in a little vegetable oil, put it in a sterile jar and it will keep for 3 months.
Ingredients – Serves 4
- 20 green chilli
- 1 tsp lemon grass
- 1 tsp coriander root
- 1 tsp galangal
- 1 tablespoon shallot
- 8 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp kaffir lime leaves
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp coriander root
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp shrimp paste or miso paste (V)
Method
- Add the chilli, lemon grass, coriander root and galangal to the food mixer or nutribullet.
- Then add garlic and shallots. Blend until very smooth
- Add coriander powder cumin powder shrimp past and salt. Blend for the third time until all mixed to a very smooth paste.
TIP: You can actually add the stage 3 ingredients to the mortar and pestle and blend manually rather than returning to the blender which will save a bit of mess.
Vegetable stir fry
Mushroom, Carrot, Chineses leaf, Mange Tout, beansprouts – Toss all in a hot pan with a little oil for 3-4 mins
Coconut Rice – an alternative to stir fry to try at home
Ingredients – Serves 4 to 6
- 1 can coconut milk (400ml)
- 400 ml water
- Salt – 1 tablespoon
- Sugar – 3 tablespoon
- Pandan Leaf or lemon grass or ginger
- Rice – 450g Thai Jasmine Rice
Method:
- Save half the coconut milk, and pour the remaining milk into a measuring jug. Dilute the coconut milk with water so you have 600ml total.
- Put the diluted milk into a pan with the sugar, salt and pandan leaf, stir to dissolve the sugar then bring to the boil. If you don’t dissolve the sugar, it will burn on the bottom.
- While coming to boil, rinse the rice in cold water in a sieve.
- Add the rice to the boiling milk, cover with lid and reduce temperature to low.
- After 5 minutes add the set aside coconut milk.
- Stir occasionally, you don’t want it to stick to the bottom – it will take about 15 minutes to cook and the rice will be soft and dry. Remove from heat and allow to rest.
