Serves
This recipe serves 4-5 people, but can be easily adjusted to feed more or less.
Ingredients
– 400 grams of beef (you can also use chicken or fish balls as a substitute)
– 1 tbsp of cooking oil (choose your own type but avoid olive oil)
– 3 tbsp of green curry paste
– 2 1/2 cups of coconut milk
– 2 kaffir lime leaves, torn
– 5-10 small fresh Thai eggplants (depending on the size), quarter them
– 2-3 red spur chillies, sliced (remember to add more chillies if you want extra bite. Alternatively use red capsicum if you’re not into spicy food)
– 1/4 cup of basil leaf
– 2 tbsp fish sauce
– 2 tbsp palm sugar
Method
1. Start by slicing your meat into thin (around 3cm thick) pieces.
2. Preheat your wok using a medium heat, before adding the oil and sautéing the green curry paste.
3. Once the paste is fragrant, reduce the heat and gradually add 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk while stirring until a film of green oil surfaces.
4. Add the sliced beef and torn kaffir leaves. Continue cooking until the beef is cooked through (should be around 3 minutes).
5. Transfer contents to a pot and continue cooking on a medium heat until it begins boiling.
6. Add the remaining coconut milk, as well as the palm sugar and fish sauce.
7. Once the contents returns to a boil, add the quartered eggplants.
8. Wait until the eggplants are cooked then sprinkle with some basil and chilli.
9. Arrange on a serving dish then garnish with some more basil and chilli.
