Thai green vegetable curry
Ingredients: (serves 4)
• 400 millilitres of water
• 2 vegetable stock cubes
• 1 tablespoon of coconut or vegetable oil
• 400 millilitres coconut milk
• Mix of vegetables, sliced (head of broccoli including stem, handful of baby corn, 2 red peppers) – use what you have available to a similar quantity
• 300 grams edamame beans (substitute with green beans, runner beans or frozen peas)
• 120 grams Thai green curry paste
• 1 large handful of chopped coriander
• 1 thumb sized piece of ginger finely sliced into matchsticks
• 2 cloves of garlic chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
Method:
1. Pour 400 millilitres of boiling water into a measuring jug with the stock cube and the finely chopped nori sheet, and put to one side.
2. Heat up a pan over a medium heat with the cooking oil and add the curry paste and ginger for a few seconds to let the aromas release, then add the garlic and sliced veg and sauté for a minute.
3. Add the vegetable stock, coconut milk, chopped coriander, half the lime juice and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Then add the edamame beans to the curry and heat for a couple of minutes until cooked.
To serve: Serve the curry with rice, topped with a few coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime. Chopped nuts are also great to add a crunch.
