Thai Green Curry

Today we eat delicious Thai green curry with chicken and snow peas.

Green curry is made with green curry paste.
The main ingredient of green curry paste is cilantro root or cilantro stems (not the leaves) and fresh green chilies,

hence the name green curry. While you can always make Thai curry paste from scratch, I am all about buying instant curry paste from Asian stores.

Ingredients 6 people

• 4 chicken fillets (+/- 1 kilo) chicken fillet is also tasty
• 400 grams of green beans
• 150 grams of sugarsnaps (or snow peas)
• ½ bunch of spring onion
• 1 bunch of coriander
• 1 red pepper
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 lime
• 2 cans of coconut milk
• 3 teaspoons of Thai green curry
• 4 lime leaves (Kaffir lime leaves)
• 2 tablespoons of cane sugar
• 2 tablespoon of fish sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• peanut oil

Because it is one of my favorite dishes, we eat it regularly and therefore there is sometimes some variation in it. This time I have green beans of the season, sugarsnaps (snow peas can also be fine) and spring onions used

Preparation method

• Remove the beans and sugarsnaps, pour boiling water on it and let it stand for about 10 minutes. Then pour the water off and let it drain.
• Heat some oil in a wok and first fry the garlic, and then fry the curry for a few minutes.
• Add the coconut milk. and heat it until it starts to bubble.
• Then add the chopped chicken fillet and cook it in the hot liquid.
• Add the drained beans and sugarsnaps and so that it can be used for a while.
• Add the spring onion, fish sauce, oyster sauce, cane sugar and lime leaves cut into rings and let it stand on the wick for 10 minutes.
• Finally add the chopped pepper and coriander and serve immediately.
• Serve with rice (or noodles) and a wedge of lime.
