| Idiot proof instructions - likey |
It has taken me more than a year to be game enough to
actually cook Thai Green Curry again. I know the exact last time when I last
cooked it because my China colleague and I were discussing about what I was
cooking that day and I told her Thai Green Curry. She was also pregnant at that
time and I was about to replace her when she left for her maternity leave. She
said she loved this stuff – well so DID I! I had used a Mae Ploy brand paste
and I had used it before so I am not sure what on earth happened but it burnt
the living daylights out of my taste buds. I had hungry D bawling their eyes
out yelling TOO SPICY TOO SPICY!!! And then there was Pickles who was just
about 1 year old or something. And he had big tears streaming down his face.
I thought to myself, it cannot be that bad. Sweet baby
cheesus.. I cried tears too. Mick and I were in absolutely tears. We abandoned
ship and had to cook something else. It was Disaster Thai Green Curry 101. TOO
SPICY!
So Marion says do not use all the paste and discard the
dried chillis in the herb package if you want a milder curry. I definitely
followed that instruction! Look at this, even the packets are numbered! This is
idiot proof. If Marion can cook, so can you!
See my wok there? I am using my wok any chance that I can
get now. Get wokking y’all.

I browned the meat before frying the paste as I prefer it
that way. I also always use chicken thighs. Nigella got it right … chicken
breasts are dry central or rather I must be doing it all wrong.

The pack comes with everything that you need. You just need
to add your meat and extra vegetables. It even comes with bamboo shoots and coconut
milk. Winning! And really really quick for a weekday night meal. Now that I have conquered my fear of Thai green curry.. has anyone tried any of her other packs?
