Thai Green Curry…Minus Most of the Curry
Not everything in the kitchen goes exactly to plan, even if it still tastes good! Made Glen a Thai green chicken curry for his lunch, although by the end it was perhaps more Thai green chicken with a bit of sauce than an actual curry!
Started with some jasmine rice and decided to give it a little extra flavour. Fried off some garlic and peanuts until fragrant, added the rice and then cooked it as usual. It came out lovely and fluffy with a nice bit of nuttiness through it.
For the curry, I started with onion, garlic and ginger, seared off some chicken thighs and set them aside. Added green capsicum, stock, coconut milk and green curry paste to the pan. Simmered again for a few more minutes before putting the chicken back in, then added some pak choy for the last few minutes and finished everything with fresh coriander.
Unfortunately, somewhere along the way my curry sauce apparently packed its bags and left. I definitely needed more liquid, so it ended up being more rice with saucy chicken than the green curry I had imagined!
Still, Glen said it tasted great, and that’s cooking sometimes. Not every dish is going to come out exactly as planned, but if the Tupperware from lunch comes back empty, I’m calling it a win!
P.S yes for Glen’s lunches I do plate the dish up take a photo and then put it all in a Tupperware…..
