Ingredients

  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons green curry paste (see notes)
  • 3.5 ounces bell peppers (cut into small chunks)
  • 3.5 ounces yard long beans (sliced into 1-inch sizes)
  • 5.5 ounces Thai eggplants (halved or quartered)
  • 0.35 ounces sweet basil
  • 1 tablespoon palm sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour one-third (about 2/3 cup) of the coconut milk into a wok or pot over medium heat. Stir gently and cook until it begins to bubble and the natural oils start to separate from the milk.
  2. Once the coconut milk starts to bubble and the oil separates, add the green curry paste. Stir and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the paste is dissolved and fragrant.
  3. Add the rest of the coconut milk and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then season with palm sugar and salt. Stir well until the palm sugar has fully dissolved.
  4. Add the yard-long beans, bell peppers, and Thai eggplants to the curry. Simmer for several minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in fresh basil just before removing from heat. Serve immediately with jasmine rice or vermicelli noodles, and optionally top with a sprinkle of Thai basil. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Green curry paste - For homemade, try my green curry paste recipe (omit shrimp paste to keep it vegan). Alternatives include Mae Ploy and Maesri, available at Amazon (these may include shrimp paste too).
  • Feel free to toss in any of your favorite vegetables!
