Ingredients
- 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 cup water
- 1/4 cabbage diced, small
- 1 chayote peeled and sliced into thin matchsticks
- 1 carrot peeled
- 1/4 lb green beans or snake beans, cut
- 1 eggplant or 3 Thai egg plant, Asian
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp fish sauce or more to taste, to taste
For spice paste
- 3 tbsp dried shrimp
- 5 red finger chili sliced (seed removed, if you prefer less spicy)
- 3 shallot peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 -2 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Cut all the vegetables into a desired bite size pieces or matchsticks. For chayote, rub the chayote slices with 1 teaspoon of salt for 30 seconds and rinse with water. That will soften the texture and make them less slimy.
- To make the spice paste, combine diced red chilies, shallot, garlic, shrimp in a small blender and add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help the blade run. Process until a smooth paste forms. You can also go the traditional route by using a mortar and pestle to make the spice paste. Just pound the ingredients until it forms a paste.
- Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the spice paste and cook for 4-7 minutes until it loses some of its water content.
- Add the milk, water mixture, vegetables, ginger, and turmeric. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender. Stir the stew occasionally. Do not let it come to a full boil--you don't want the coconut milk to curdle.
- Season with fish sauce to your liking. Serve hot with rice.
