Just a can of green curry paste, coconut milk, and veggies: squash (garden is in full squash mode), onion, and mushrooms. Crispy baked tofu coated with nooch and garlic powder. Not pictured: rice and fresh herbs.
Thai curry is such an easy and delicious way to consume massive amounts of veggies that are piling up on your counter. Saute everything individually, including the curry paste. Then dump it all together, add coconut milk, and you’re done!
Looks amazing! This post has reminded me that it's been too long since I last ate Thai green curry, I know what I'm making this weekend now!
Love Thai curry! Almost never make it though, as none of the Asian markets near me carry thai curry paste that is both vegan, and doesn't contain any allergens to me (Cardamon being the big one there). I've made the paste from scratch a few times, but its a fair amount of work.
We use something similar to this at work: https://www.amazon.com/Taste-Thai-Curry-Paste-Piece/dp/B01BEVRL28
is vegan
Damn, that’s tough. Making the paste from scratch is a real pain! I guess you could make a huge batch of it and freeze it for later? Can you find a supplier online? Usually those cans keep forever, so having a supply on hand is quite convenient.
This looks absolutely amazing! Gonna make this this weekend!
Do you know what Thai restaurants usually use when I ask for it to be insanely spicy?
I’ve found the can of paste is usually enough if I use the whole can for one can of coconut milk.
If I’m making it for guests, I start with half the can of paste per can of coconut milk. I like it spicier than most my guests.
Nice! My partner and I like our curry FACE-MELTINGLY HOT so we’re gonna try that and adding in some Bird’s Eye Chilis!

Prik bon aka Thai chilli flakes. They're usually dried bird's eye chillis if I remember right - I love these chillis fresh, too, if you can get them.
Any vegans here know a particularly good fish sauce imitation?
I get by with soup soy sauce: https://www.maangchi.com/ingredient/soup-soy-sauce
My kiddo is finally starting to tolerate mildly spicy stuff, so I need to try bringing Thai curries back into our regular dinner rotation
I love adding fresh dill ("Laotian coriander") to curry. Sounded weird to me at first, but I think it's a fantastic addition.
Weird! I love it. I’ll give it a go next time. I’ve got some dill in the garden, so it’s an easy adjustment. I used Thai basil and cilantro in this one. Got both growing this year. Seems like herbs and squash is all I can get to grow around here!
