Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons green curry paste (Whole30 compliant, no sugar or additives)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce (Whole30 compliant, no sugar)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons optional crushed red pepper flakes (for heat)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the green curry paste, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the saucepan. Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Slowly pour in the full-fat coconut milk, stirring continuously to combine the curry paste mixture with the milk.
Add the fish sauce, fresh lime juice, and sea salt to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the chopped cilantro leaves. For extra heat, add the crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
Use the sauce immediately in your favorite curry dishes or pour it over roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or cauliflower rice.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently before using.
