About The Recipe

Green Curry is another common dish in Thailand. This Thai curry recipe is from the central part of Thailand, but you can find it all around country. You can cook it with chicken or pork. In Thailand we use the eggplant that actually looks like an egg, the ones you find in the USA are big and purple, but you can use those too.

I've heard of other people replacing the salt with fish sauce - I have both on hand, but was wondering which is more authentic? Green curry with chicken street food in Bangkok was one of my favorite meals ever! Great site!

Thanks for putting this video and recipe together. It was really easy to follow and worked brilliantly. I made this for my wife's family last night here in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Thai or Asian food is hard to find here so you have helped me introduce them to the wonders of Asian cuisine. Cheers!

I liked it so much I made it again with a home made paste. But to be honest the first was better (and far easier) :-)
Anyway Thanks very much!!

I have always loved Asian cuisine, but never had Thai food before, because I was told it was very spicy. On a pack of rice noodles I saw a recipe for Pad Thai, and I thought well that does not sound spicy and I googled Pad Thai, which brought me to your site and all your wonderful videos. Your delightful manner and ease in which you show us how to cook such flavorful dishes has made me a convert to Thai food, I even have started to add some chilies :-)
As a side note I discovered that it might be actually good for my high blood pressure.The fish sauce has 16% of sodium versus the salt has 29% of sodium.
So I have decided that for one week I will cook only Thai food, and will keep track of my blood pressure.

So if you would make some more videos I know there are many of us who would appreciate it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I loved your video and recipe! Very informative and helpful. I have always enjoyed this dish at restaurants but finally made this dish for the first time at home and loved it! I used fish sauce instead of salt, palm sugar instead of sugar and added kaffir lime leaves because I had them all on hand. Thank you for sharing! :-)
