Instructions

Thai Green Curry Paste - Skip if you have store-bought paste

  • Using gloves, cut the chillies down the side with a knife or scissors, remove the seeds and finely slice them. Set aside.
  • Add into the food processor or blender the white ingredients: Shallots roughly chopped, lemongrass finely sliced (just the thicker part), garlic cloves and galagal roughly chopped. Blend all these ingredients until you have a consistency that already looks like a paste. A
  • Add the green ingredients: De-seed and sliced green chilis, chopped coriander (roots, stems and leaves) and kaffir or regular lime zest. Blend again for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the spices, sea salt and miso paste. Blend one last time until all the ingredients are perfectly blended and you have the right consistency (paste).
  • The paste will be ready to use or to keep in the fridge for later use. You can as well freeze it at this point.

Thai Green Curry

  • Heat the coconut oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the curry paste, stir and leave it cooking for a couple of minutes while you keep stirring.
  • Add the coconut milk, stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, kaffir limes and the vegetables.
  • At this point, you can add the tofu into the curry cut into cubes or triangles. If you wish to give your tofu some extra taste, cook it separately. Add some coconut oil in a pan and pan-fry the tofu. When it starts to golden, add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and ½ tablespoon sriracha. Mix well and cook further 4-5 minutes. Add the tofu before serving.
