Quick and Easy Vegan Thai Green Curry
Inspired by Thai Green Curry recipes, I’ve made a simple version with accessible ingredients from the supermarket (in the U.K) which is vegan friendly. There are so many recipe creators that make authentic green curry pastes, so if you’re wanting to go the extra mile, check out some of their work! This recipe is focusing on QUICK and EASY ingredients.
What’s in this Green Curry?
Thai Green Curry Paste- You can make this by hand if you want to, there’s loads of authentic recipes online that will give you a much better flavour than shop bought. But for todays recipe we’re keeping it simple and using a veggie friendly paste from Blue Dragon.
Coconut Milk- This gives the curry a delicious creamy and rich flavour as well as being the main body for creamy sauce.
Ginger and Garlic- These two ingredients marry together to give a delicious base. If you want a hotter curry add in a chopped red or green chilli to the mix.
Lime- This is an important ingredient to the curry, it gives it zest and so much flavour. You need the acidity to slice against the richness of the sauce.
