Thai Green Curry

AuthorMelanieCategoryDifficultyBeginner

This is the closest I've found to my favorite green curries in Thai restaurants. I make a huge pot of it and freeze it in individual portions. Original recipe from Hot Thai Kitchen.

2

Add the chicken, vegetables, remaining coconut milk, palm sugar, chicken stock, lime leaves and fish sauce. Simmer 10-15 minutes until chicken is tender and fully cooked.

3
