Thai Fish Green Curry With Asparagus Peas Recipes

THAI GREEN CURRY WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Put the kaffir lime leaves and 1/3 cup of the oil in a blender. Set at the blender's lowest speed, start the blender and slowly increase the speed to high. Blend for 25 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean small bowl and reserve. Clean the blender carafe.
• Put the cilantro, chiles, garlic, shallots, ginger, lemongrass, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/3 cup water in the blender. Set at the blender's lowest speed, start the blender and slowly increase the speed to medium-high. Blend for 40 seconds to make a fine puree, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the carafe.
• Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the cilantro puree. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and olive green, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the fish sauce and brown sugar. Cook 1 minute more, then add the coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups water. Add more salt and fish sauce if desired. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat to medium-low and add the shrimp and lime juice. Cover and cook until the undersides of the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp, cover and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and snow peas, cover and cook until the shrimp are pink on both sides and cooked through, about 1 minute more.
• Ladle the curry into 4 soup bowls. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and drizzle with some of the kaffir lime oil.

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook curry paste until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add pork, increase heat and cook until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bamboo shoots, coconut milk, and red bell pepper. Reduce heat and bring to a simmer. Season with sugar and salt; simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in kaffir lime leaves. Cook for 1 more minute.

GREEN CURRIED FISH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large wok, and fry the onion, ginger and garlic for about 5 minutes or until softened.
• Add the green curry paste, and fry for another 2 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk, water, lime juice and fish sauce and bring to the boil.
• Reduce to a simmer and add the fish, and any of the longer-to-cook vegetables you have chosen and cook for about 5 minutes (I added the beans along with the fish).
• Also add about half the fresh coriander.
• Add the remaining softer vegetables, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, being careful not to overcook the fish, or knock it around too much as you stir through the vegetables.
• Stir through the fresh herbs gently.
• Serve in deep bowls over steamed rice, scattered with the fresh spring onions.

STIR-FRY GREEN CURRY BEEF WITH ASPARAGUS & SUGAR SNAPS

Steps:

• Stir the beef with the fish sauce, lime zest, peppercorns and garlic, then set aside. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick wok and pile in the shallot, asparagus, sugar snaps and broccoli. Stir-fry over a high heat for 5 mins. (There are a lot of vegetables, so you can speed up the process by adding a dash of water to the wok every now and then to steam them at the same time.)
• Stir the coconut milk, curry paste and lime juice together, pour into the pan and stir well. Simmer for 2 mins, adding a few tbsp water until the vegetables are tender but still have a lot of bite. Tip into bowls and keep warm.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan, tip in the beef and stir-fry for 1-2 mins until just cooked. Stir through the basil leaves and serve on top of the vegetables.

THAI GREEN CURRY

Steps:

• Using the heel of your hand, crush lemongrass and add to the bowl of a food processor along with scallions, green chiles, garlic, ginger, cilantro, coriander seeds, and lime leaves.

• Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add peanut and sesame oil; swirl to coat. Add shrimp and snow peas; cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Add coconut milk and asparagus; stir to combine. Cook until heated through, about 3 1/2 minutes. Squeeze lime over curry and garnish with cilantro leaves and red chile; serve with rice.

THAI GREEN CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

Return chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat with the curry mixture. Stir the coconut milk, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and sugar into the chicken-curry mixture. Allow to simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes until the chicken is tender. Serve garnished with cilantro leaves.
