Ingredients
CURRY
- 2 cups water
- kaeng som curry paste
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons tamarind paste
- 1/2 tablespoon palm sugar
- 1.8 ounce yard long beans sliced
- 1.8 ounce carrot sliced
- 7 ounces green papaya shredded
- 10 Shrimp
CURRY PASTE
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 red spur chilies large
- 4 dried chilies
- 1 tablespoon shrimp paste
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2.5 ounces shallot
- 0.7 ounces finger root
Instructions
MAKE THE KAENG SOM CURRY PASTE
- Use a mortar and pestle to pound the dry ingredients first: salt, dried red spur chilies, and dried chilies. Then, add the remaining ingredients and grind into a fine paste. Alternatively, you can use a food processor and mix all ingredients at once.
MAKE THE CURRY
- Fill a pot with water and place it over medium heat. Add the curry paste and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in fish sauce, tamarind paste, and palm sugar. Then, add the vegetables.
- Let the curry simmer for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft to your liking. Add shrimp and cook for 2 more minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Kaeng some can be made with lots of different vegetables like Chinese cabbage, cabbage, cha om, daikon, cauliflower, phak bung, morning glory, bamboo shoots, coconut shoots, taro stems, and more.
- You can add firm fish like barramundi, snakehead, catfish, or tilapia for variation.
- This recipe yields enough curry paste for 2 portions. Double the recipe if you're making it for 4.
