Sizzle the Curry Paste
Start by heating a bit of oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the green curry paste and sauté until aromatic, releasing those bold and zesty Thai flavors.
Add Coconut Milk
Slowly pour in the creamy coconut milk, whisking to combine with the paste. Watch the magic as it transforms into a rich, velvety sauce.
Simmer with Protein
Toss in your protein of choice—chicken, tofu, or shrimp—and let it cook gently in the fragrant sauce.
Add Vegetables
Add your medley of fresh vegetables, like zucchini, bell peppers, and snap peas. Let them simmer until tender yet crisp, adding a burst of color to the dish.
Finish with Fresh Herbs
Turn off the heat and stir in fresh Thai basil leaves and a splash of lime juice for that final zing. Serve hot with jasmine rice.
Store leftover curry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of water or coconut milk to loosen the sauce.
