Try making this Thai green curry when you’re tempted by take-out. It’s such an easy recipe. It will save you money and it’s probably faster than waiting for delivery. You just need a couple key pantry ingredients and you can make take-out at home at any moment.

I swear by cans of Maesri curry paste. They pack a huge punch of flavor in just a little can (and you only need half a can for a big batch of curry.) I stock up on cans of curry paste on Amazon or at my local Asian grocery store (hey, H-Mart!) These come in lots of varieties, so while this is a recipe for green curry, I challenge you to try them all.

I love that you can customize your homemade take-out with whatever you like or have on hand. The vegetables below are suggestions. Use your favorites. If you have some vegetables that are one step away from the garbage can, this might be the tastiest way to use them up.

I think the ramen noodles are a genius addition to this recipe. They are cheap, you almost certainly have a pack on hand, and they cook in 2 minutes. The best part about using noodles instead of rice is that the sauce really clings to the noodles in such a delicious way. But, if you don’t have ramen, steam up a batch of rice and you’ll still be pretty happy.

Veggie Thai Green Curry

Thai green curry is easy to make at home with just a few key pantry ingredients. It's quicker than delivery!
Course Dinner, Lunch, Main Course
Cuisine Thai
Keyword Chickpeas, Curry, Quick & Easy, Vegetables, Vegetarian
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • 1/2 large onion sliced thin
  • 1 medium red bell pepper cut into bite sized chunks
  • 1 medium carrot peeled and sliced on the bias
  • ¼ head cauliflower cut into bite sized chunks
  • 1 medium zucchini quartered and cut into bite sized chunks
  • 1 medium summer squash quartered and cut into bite sized chunks
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed and cut into bite sized chunks
  • 2 oz green curry paste Maesri brand preferred (see notes)
  • 13.5 oz coconut milk full fat; Chaokoh brand preferred (see notes)
  • 12 oz vegetable stock chicken stock is fine too if you aren't vegetarian
  • 15.5 oz canned chick peas
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce Red Boat brand preferred (see notes)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed is best
  • 2 packs instant ramen noodles flavor pack discarded
  • kosher salt a few pinches when sweating the vegetables
  • cilantro roughly chopped for garnish
  • green onions sliced for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat a a large high sided skillet over medium heat. Add oil. Add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 2 minutes until the onion is just starting to soften. Add the rest of the vegetables and another pinch of salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables just start to soften and the onion is getting very soft.
  • Add the curry paste. Stir and toast in the pan for about 1 minute.
  • Add the coconut milk and vegetable stock. Bring up to a hard simmer. Cover and simmer vegetables for about 10 minutes stirring just a couple of times. Once the vegetables are just tender uncover.
  • Stir in the chick peas. Then season by adding the fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Stir to combine.
  • Add the instant ramen to the pan and stir until the ramen is cooked through. This should take just 2-3 minutes. You might need to flip the ramen blocks at first to soak both sides in sauce.
  • Serve. Garnish with cilantro and scallions.

Notes

  • I find that the Maesri curry paste has the strongest flavor. You can easily find it on Amazon (here). I like to buy several cans to stock my pantry.
  • Chaokoh coconut milk is so rich and creamy with such a great flavor. You can also find this on Amazon.
  • I researched fish sauce recently and found that Red Boat is preferred by many chefs. It’s what I now stock in my pantry.
  • I also like this curry with shrimp. If you’re not vegetarian (or allergic to shrimp), add about half a pound of raw, peeled shrimp with the chick peas (or in place of them.) The shrimp will take just a few minutes and are cooked when they are pink all the way through.
  • If you don’t want to use ramen here, just leave them out and serve this green curry over rice.

Sean and I had to make the hard decision on Friday Sean and I had to make the hard decision on Friday to put Barley down. It's been a rough few days for us and the house feels *extremely* empty. But we know we were lucky to have this pup in our lives for over 14 years--our best guess is that he was about ~16 years old which is an extremely good run for any dog and we are grateful for the years with him. He was in very good shape up until the last few months and in the last four weeks he was quickly declining. He had many nicknames (as all dogs seem to): Barles, Mr.Jingles, Biffer, Stick Legs are a few. He was the absoulte perfect dog for us: food obsessed, good traveler, and happy camper. He barely barked (and when he did, it really freaked me out!) He was sweet to all. He rarely got into things, but once he sniffed out a wrapped box of Tasty Cakes I was gifting for Christmas, ripped it apart, and proceeded to hide all of the wrapped cakes under pillows all around the house. He was my constant companion when I was stuck in bed for over a month before my back surgery. Our hearts are broken but they will heal and we'll always be grateful for his friendship. RIP Barley.
