Thai Green Fish Curry

Thai Green Fish Curry

This is an incredibly simple dish to prepare. It can be made in minutes with fresh or frozen fish, the only caveat being to choose fish steaks instead of fish fillets if possible as they hold together better when cooking. Also, if using frozen fish allow it to defrost first.  You can also choose the level of spice you desire as our Green curry pastes comes with three different spice levels! I'm using the Bangkok Green curry paste which is a medium heat here but you can also check out the Mild Green and the Southern Green if you’re a spice wimp or a spice daredevil😊

I also encourage you to get creative with your favorite vegetables, like pak choi or sweet tomatoes. If you choose heartier veggies like baby corn, just give them a quick parboil first so everything cooks beautifully. Unless you wish to add extra heat to the dish make sure to use mild chillies, medium sized chillies are usually quite mild. You can also use green and red peppers if you prefer.

Ingredients.
My Thai Curry Green Curry paste of choice.
Cod or similar fish steaks, 400-700g for 2 to 3 servings.
1 can Coconut Milk 400g
Shallots, sugar snap peas fresh chillies or peppers or veggies of own choice.

Place a little oil in the pan and add the shallots and cook over a medium heat turning occasionally until they have taken on some colour. Add the chillies and cook for a few minutes more.


Add the thicker part of the coconut milk along with the curry paste. This is made easier if you leave the can of coconut milk in the fridge upright for a few hours as the thicker part will rise to the top. As always with Thai curry the choice of milk is so important and not all coconut milks are created equally so you would do well to check out this link! Stir and heat through.

Add the remainder of the coconut milk and heat until the mixture is bubbling.

Add the fish chunks and cook for 5 minutes. 

Now add the Sugar snap peas and spinach and heat for a few minutes more.

After plating the dish, add some sprigs of coriander and some finely shredded Kaffir lime leaves if using.
Enjoy!

So, even if you think you may never make Thailand’s favourite dessert you should still watch the video just to listen to the foot tapping Issan music to perk up your day! This recipe is at its best when mangoes are at their best. Typically this will be from April to September for mangoes from Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.  These are best found in Asian grocery shops, not as cheap as the supermarket varieties because they are picked at the height of ripeness and exported by air.

Crying Tiger, The Makeover!
Crying Tiger, The Makeover!

Crying Tiger beef has long been one of our favourite recipes especially during the summer months when alfresco dining and barbecues abound. Recently I have started to take the dish beyond the original recipe, especially if I am cooking for a group of people. I love Crying Tiger whichever way it is prepared, but there is no doubt that this method of preparation takes it to a different level. The reason for this is that the state is cooked using the Reverse Sear method. This results in a perfec...
