Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon green curry paste or your curry paste of choice
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 1 to 2 cups chopped raw vegetables of your choice (bell peppers, zucchini, spinach, etc.)
  • 4 to 6 ounces animal protein of your choice (leftover chicken works great!)
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 2/3 cup cooked brown rice

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan or skillet
  • Cutting board and sharp knife
  • Measuring cup and tablespoon
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces and set them aside. If you’re using leftover chicken or another protein, ensure it’s cut into small pieces for quick heating.
  2. In your medium saucepan or skillet, heat the coconut oil or avocado oil over medium heat. Allow it to melt and become hot but not smoking.
  3. Once the oil is ready, add the green curry paste to the pan. Stir it around for about 30 seconds to release its aromatic flavors.
  4. Next, carefully pour the full-fat coconut milk into the pan. Stir well to combine the curry paste and coconut milk, creating a rich sauce.
  5. Now it’s time to add your chopped vegetables and protein to the pan. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the protein is heated through.
  6. Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, stir in the chopped green onions. This adds a fresh crunch to your curry.
  7. Serve your 15-Minute Thai Curry For One over a bed of cooked brown rice. Enjoy your meal hot, and relish the vibrant flavors of Thailand right in your kitchen!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm in a saucepan over medium heat, adding a splash of water or coconut milk.
  • Feel free to swap out protein for tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
