Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons green curry paste (check for sugar-free and low-carb options)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.5 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian version)
- 1.5 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional, for balance)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 10 leaves Thai basil leaves (optional)
- 3 leaves kaffir lime leaves (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the green curry paste to the saucepan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine with the curry paste.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chicken stock, stirring gently to incorporate.
Stir in the fish sauce and sweetener (if using). Taste the sauce and adjust these amounts, if needed, to suit your preference.
Add the lime juice for a fresh and tangy flavor. Stir well to combine.
If desired, add Thai basil leaves and kaffir lime leaves to infuse more aromatic flavors into the sauce. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the kaffir lime leaves (if used) before serving.
Serve the curry sauce immediately with cooked vegetables, tofu, chicken, shrimp, or your low-carb protein of choice.
