I made Thai green curry
No animals were slaughtered in connection with the making of this dish.
I'm attempting a low-carb vegetarian diet. I need to lose 20 pounds to fit into a slinky new dress. So far, so good. I started yesterday by making a salad with raw vegetables and yogurt sort of like tzatziki, and then I made chana dal, which is high protein and low glycemic. This morning for breakfast I had eggs and my one slice of whole wheat bread for the day. This afternoon on the way home from downtown I got all the Thai ingredients from Grand Mart, and went to work.
I sliced up carrot, Chinese eggplant, baby bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower, shiitake, and tofu, and also used snow peas. I chopped ginger, galangal, garlic, hot little green Thai chilis, lemongrass, makrud lime leaves, and a bit of onion, added spices and soy sauce, and ground it all into a paste. I sautéed this green curry paste, then added the vegetables and stirred, covered them with coconut milk, added a couple bunches of Thai basil, covered and let it simmer, and when it was done topped it with cilantro.
It turned out pretty excellent for the first try! This is one of my favorite dishes ever and I'm delighted to be able to make my own now. I made a big pot of it and used 6 Thai chilis, which made it "American hot." But when I took my own serving, I sliced three more Thai chilis and sprinkled them on my curry, making it "Thai hot."
