Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste (sugar-free, check label for compliance)
- 3 leaves Fresh lime leaves (or use 1 teaspoon lime zest as a substitute)
- 250 ml Vegetable broth (unsalted)
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves (Thai basil preferred, but regular basil works too)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 medium Shallots (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce (or coconut aminos for a vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 small Green chili (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped shallots. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Stir in the Thai green curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release its flavors.
Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Stir well to combine the curry paste with the liquids.
Toss in the lime leaves (or lime zest), fresh basil leaves, and optional chopped green chili for extra heat.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season the sauce with fish sauce (or coconut aminos for a vegan option) and fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the lime leaves before serving and use the sauce immediately over your favorite protein, vegetables, or noodles, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
