Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Lemongrass paste
• 3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste (nut-free)
• 1 14-ounce can Coconut milk (full fat)
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 2 leaves Kaffir lime leaves (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
• 2 teaspoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Thai basil leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the coconut oil.

Step 2

Once the oil has melted, add the minced garlic, ginger, and lemongrass paste. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the Thai green curry paste to the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to release its flavors.

Step 4

Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine with the curry paste.

Step 5

Add the kaffir lime leaves (if using), sugar, soy sauce or tamari, and salt. Stir to mix the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 7

Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice, Thai basil leaves, and ground white pepper (if using). Adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice, if needed.

Step 8

Remove the kaffir lime leaves before serving. Enjoy the sauce poured over rice or served as a base for proteins and vegetables.
