Ingredients

• 500 grams Cod fillets
• 200 grams Green beans
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons Green curry paste
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 medium, finely chopped Shallots
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 1 juice and zest Lime
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh Thai basil

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cod fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Rinse and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 5

Stir in the green curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, blending it thoroughly with the aromatics.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the fish sauce, brown sugar, lime zest, and juice to the curry, stirring to balance the flavors.

Step 8

Add the green beans to the sauce and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they start to become tender but still crisp.

Step 9

Gently add the cod pieces to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the curry sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and cooked through.

Step 10

Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with more fish sauce, lime juice, or sugar as needed.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the curry with fresh cilantro and Thai basil, if using. Add sliced red chili for heat, if desired.

Step 12

Serve the green curry immediately over cooked jasmine rice.
