Coconut milk<\/strong> \u2013 if you use low fat, you will lose coconut flavour because the flavour is in the fat! Also, Ayam is the best brand in Australia \u2013 the creamiest and purest. Other brands don\u2019t have the same creamy mouth feel. You can also use coconut cream if you want a richer, thicker sauce (green curry is normally a thinner sauce, see video).<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>5. Kaffir Lime Leaves<\/strong> \u2013 find them in major supermarkets and Asian grocery stores. They freeze super well for months and months. Adds earthy citrus flavour (not sour). Best sub is to use a lemongrass \u2013 smash open the white part (where all the flavour is) then use in place of kaffir lime leaves. Last resort is to peel some strips of lime skin (green part only, avoid white part) and pop that in (I\u2019d use the peel of 1 whole lime. Make them big enough so you can pick them out later.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>6. Chicken \u2013 <\/strong>thigh is best because it\u2019ll stay juicy\u00a0with the prescribed simmering time. If using breast, let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes before adding it.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>7. Japanese eggplants<\/strong> \u2013 shaped like a cucumber. Excellent sponge to suck up curry sauce. Slice into rounds or slight diagonal. <strong>Sub\u00a0<\/strong>with small eggplants, ideally want skin on each piece which holds it together because it gets very soft. Non eggplant sub: zucchini\/courgettes<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>8. Thai basil leaves<\/strong> \u2013 tastes like normal basil with a more pronounced aniseed flavour. Sold at major supermarkets in Australia and Asian grocery stores. Last resort, sub with normal basil.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>9. Crispy Fried Asian Shallots<\/strong> \u2013 sold at large supermarkets in Australia and Asian grocery stores (MUCH cheaper!). Common garnish at Asian restaurants. Deep fried sliced shallots, crispy and salty. Terrific texture and flavour finish for everything Asian from soups to noodles, stir fries, curries, salads. I use extensively even in non Asian dishes.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>10.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Other ingredients: <\/strong>Use any proteins \/ vegetables you want as long as they are suited to being simmered and the cook time.\u00a0The sauce needs to be simmered for 13 \u2013 15 min to get the right flavour and thickness. Some suggestions:<br \/>* <em>Vegetarian<\/em> \u2013 Asian eggplant, green beans, zucchini (pictured in post). Other vegetables that go great: broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, carrots, sweet or normal potato, pumpkin, mushrooms (cook to soft, great sponge!)<br \/>* <em>Prawns \/ shrimp or fish pieces instead of chicken<\/em> \u2013 add towards end, 3 to 5 min cook time<br \/>* <em>Beef or pork<\/em> \u2013 Use a quick cooking cut, cut into strips or cubes. I sear beef and pork first before adding into curry sauces, the flavour is better. Use any quick cooking cut, sprinkle with salt and pepper, sear to brown outside but leave inside uncooked. Then add into sauce just to finish cooking through.\u00a0<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video\"><\/span>Video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Thai Green Curry\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-cnfV7PwHH4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8409,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1924,2506,136,2505,2877,697,454],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-curry","category-dinner","category-entree","category-lunch","category-simmered","category-stove-top","category-thai"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Thai-Green-Curry_5.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8412"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8414,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8412\/revisions\/8414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
