Ingredients

• 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat or light)
• 0.5 cup Low sodium vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Green curry paste (low sodium or homemade)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced or grated
• 1 small Shallot, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar or coconut sugar
• 2 leaves Kaffir lime leaves (optional, for authentic flavor)
• 0.25 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the coconut milk and let it simmer until it separates slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the green curry paste and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, ginger, and shallot to the pan. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until softened and aromatic.

Step 4

Pour in the rest of the coconut milk and the low sodium vegetable broth. Stir to combine all ingredients.

Step 5

Add the lime juice, low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos, and sugar. Stir well to balance the flavors.

Step 6

If using kaffir lime leaves, gently crush them to release their oils and add them to the sauce. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes to thicken slightly and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Remove the kaffir lime leaves (if used) before serving. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed with a little more lime juice or sugar.

Step 8

Serve the sauce warm over your choice of vegetables, tofu, or lean protein. Garnish with fresh Thai basil leaves, if desired.
