[Cooking] Mmmmm
28 Jan 2006 09:36 pmMade some red Thai curry tonight which came out lovely. Too bad I cocked up the rice...
Anyway, here's a quick snapshot and a recipe, as
greebotrill asked about it:
Ingredients (use at your discretion):
Black mustard seeds
fresh ginger, fresh garlic, spring onions
mushrooms, courgettes and mixed bell peppers (I had one red and one green)
red Thai curry paste, coconut milk, salt, kaffir lime leaves, fresh coriander
a handful of king prawns
Method
In a wok, heat some oil, throw in the mustard seeds and let them pop, then the garlic, ginger and spring onions. Stirfry until translucent.
Add the sliced courgettes, fry some more, then add the curry paste to taste and fry that off.
Add a can of coconut milk, throw in a good pinch of salt and a few kaffir lime leaves.
Turn the heat down and let bubble while the rice cooks.
About five minutes before the end, add the sliced peppers and just before serving the prawns (if they are pre-cooked, if not put them in a bit earlier) and chopped coriander.
Serve and enjoy

Oddly enough, with that many green veg, the sauce turned green after a while...
