Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) coconut milk see notes
- ½ - 1 tbsp green curry paste adjust depending on your spiciness level, see notes
- 7 oz (200 g) deep fried tofu cut in bite-sized chunks, see notes for alternatives
- 6 (200 g) Thai eggplants quartered, see notes for alternatives
- 5 oz (150 g) Thai long beans or green beans cut in 2-inch pieces
- 3.5 oz (100 g) fresh baby corns cut in bite-sized chunks, don't use canned baby corn, see notes for alternatives
- 2 kaffir lime leaves finely chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 5 stalks Thai Sweet Basil see notes for alternatives
Instructions
- Heat a wok, large skillet, or non-stick pot. Pour in coconut milk and green curry paste, stir until dissolved, and let it simmer for a few minutes. Taste the curry and add more curry paste if needed! → Better always start with only a little curry paste, it can become hot very quickly.
- Add the tofu, eggplants, green beans, baby corns, and kaffir lime leaves and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, depending on how soft/crispy you like your vegetables.
- Season with soy sauce and sugar. Add some water if you like your curry thinner.
- Stir trough Thai basil and serve over basmati or jasmine rice.
Notes
- Keeps Fresh: For 3 days stored in the refrigerator.
- Coconut Milk: Make sure to use coconut milk and not coconut cream. If you only have coconut cream at hand, use 1 cup coconut cream and 1 cup water.
- Green Curry Paste: Most Thai curry pastes are made with shrimp paste. Make sure to use a vegan brand like the one I linked in the ingredient list or make your own.
- Deep-Fried Tofu: Thai curry does taste the best with deep-fried tofu. You can find it in every Asian market, or make your own according to this Guide "How to Deep-Fry Tofu" by Full of Plants. Alternative, use extra firm tofu, cut it into small cubes, toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch, and fry it in a skillet with a little oil until crispy.
- Thai Eggplants / Baby Corn: These are authentic Thai products. You can find them in every Asian market but can be hard to get in a regular supermarket. Substitute with other vegetables such as zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots.
- Thai Sweet Basil: This is an essential part of an authentic Thai Green Curry. You can find it in every Asian market, but it's hard to get in a regular supermarket. Can be substituted with Italian basil.
- Rice: I suggest serving this curry over basmati or jasmine rice. 1.5 cups (270g) uncooked rice should be sufficient for 4 people.
