A fragrant vegan Thai Green Curry made with homemade curry paste. Use whatever fresh and crispy vegetables you have on hand at home – I like to go for something green, something red, something soft, and something crunchy. Finish with some Thai basil and you’re onto a winner!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Plate<\/p>\n

I made this meal out of necessity really – we have the most divine Thai restaurant local to us, but their green curry often has a hint of that distinctly fishy shrimp paste – even though they claim it to be made without… curious.<\/p>\n

Well, call me paranoid, but the beauty of homemade means that you can be 100% certain of just what has gone into it – no dried, fermented, salty prawns for me thank you!<\/p>\n

Now, this recipe calls for a pre-made Thai Green Curry Paste<\/a> – which I shared a few weeks back here. Feel free to use store-bought if you can find one with an ingredient list you’re happy with.<\/p>\n

See how I froze the paste into cubes ready to go? This means as long as you have some tofu, vegetables and coconut milk on hand, you can thaw and add the paste and you've got a quick and delicious meal.<\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/p>\n

What I love about his dish is that it is just so fragrant – lemongrass, ginger, coriander, kaffir, chilli, cumin... all coming from the rich paste, with sweet coconut milk, salty broth, and a mixture of fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n

If you pre-make the paste, you can have this prepped and whipped up within 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

I have a bottomless pit to feed here, so I served it with rice, but a lighter grain like quinoa would be just as nice.<\/p>\n
