Green Thai Fish Curry Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the white and pale green parts of the green onions, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and garlic; sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the curry paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/4 cups water, coconut milk, chiles, lime leaves, and fish sauce. Bring to simmer. Add the carrot; cover and cook until carrot is just tender, about 5 minutes.
• Layer bok choy, shrimp, scallops, and mussels in pan. Cover and simmer until mussels open and seafood and bok choy are cooked (discard mussels that do not open), about 5 minutes. Stir in the dark green parts of green onions, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and basil.
• Divide rice among four shallow bowls. Ladle curry over rice and serve.

Steps:

• Do not shake the can of coconut milk before opening, so the cream remains on the top. Spoon about 1/2 to 2/3 cup of this thick cream into a medium-size sauce pan and heat over medium to high heat. Reduce until the cream is smooth and bubbly and the oil begins to separate. Add the curry past and fry in the cream until the aromas are released - about 3-5 minutes. Then add the remaining milk.
• Bring to a boikl and add the fish. Bring back up to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes before adding the eggplants. Simmer a few minutes more, then add the peas and kaffir lime leaves. Season to taste with fish sauce (may not be needed with some brands of curry pastes which are already salted). Add palm sugar to balance and enhance the spice and herb flavors. Continue to simmer until the eggplants and peas are tender. Stir in the basil and chillies (if desired) and cook another 1-2 minutes.
• Serve over hot fluffy steamed rice.

Steps:

• To make the curry paste, gradually combine all the ingredients, except the shrimp paste, using a pestle and mortar. Add the ingredients one at a time and pound vigorously after each to form a rough paste. Add the shrimp paste and continue to pound together until you have a smooth paste. The paste is ready when you can no longer identify any of the ingredients. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to three months.
• To make the curry, heat the oil in a saucepan over a low heat. Add the green curry paste and stir until fragrant - you won't need all the paste. Increase the heat to medium and add in the chicken pieces, coating with the paste. When the chicken has browned, spoon in half the coconut milk, avoiding adding any of the water at the bottom of the tin - this will split the curry. Stir continuously for 10 mins or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is simmering.
• Pour in the remaining coconut milk, discarding the water, and turn the heat up to bring to the boil, then return the heat to medium. Add the Thai and pea aubergines with the baby corn and sugar snap peas and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 mins or until the flavours combine, the sauce thickens slightly and vegetables are tender.
• Gradually add the fish sauce and palm sugar, stirring and tasting after each addition until you are happy. Add the lime leaves and most of the Thai basil, then cook for a further 5 mins to let their flavours infuse. To serve, pour the curry into individual serving dishes and scatter over the sliced chilli and the remaining Thai basil leaves.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook bamboo shoots for 5 minutes. Drain.
• 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. Season with fish sauce. Stir in Thai basil and serve.
