Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Green curry paste
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 4 Lime leaves
- 10 pieces Fresh Thai basil leaves
- 1 Lemongrass stalk
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by prepping the ingredients: finely chop the lemongrass stalk and tear the lime leaves into smaller pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped lemongrass and stir-fry for about 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the green curry paste to the saucepan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously to release its full flavor.
Slowly pour in the coconut milk, stirring gently to combine it with the curry paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the fish sauce and sugar to the saucepan, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the torn lime leaves to the sauce and continue to simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Toss in the Thai basil leaves and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Just before serving, add the fresh lime juice, stir well to combine, and taste for seasoning. Adjust by adding more fish sauce or sugar as necessary.
Pour the sauce over your chosen protein or vegetables and serve hot, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
