Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! Followed the recipe accurately except for the quantities can't weigh out grams of this and grams of that... next time it'll come out a bit different - that's the joy of cooking. I used frozen beans and corn and served on basmati rice. Saved and on my list to make again very soon. Thank you.
We've made this many times now and it's always a mind-blower! Always best when the green beans are nice and fresh and tender. Made it once with sub-par coconut milk...that was a mistake. Omitted the lemon grass otherwise followed the recipe. The sauce is soupy buy we just add an arrowroot slurry at the end and it thickens it right up. Will make this again and again and again...
The texture of this curry is really thin so only use a necessary amount of coconut milk DO NOT use the whole can. I also thought that the taste was a bit too sour. Otherwise this would make a good green curry.
I had to omit the lemon grass as it was way too woody to put through the food processor. The only other changes I made were to add more soy sauce (low-sodium) and a splash of fish sauce. I'm not a big fan of canned baby corn but they worked great in this recipe. Served it over wide rice noodles as that's what I had on hand. Good stuff! Thanks Lee!
I've made this several times and love it. I usually use pan fried tofu instead of prawns and change up the veggies. I also cut down the lime juice a bit maybe use only one lime instead of two. I've also made the mistake of using low fat coconut milk which was awful - the regular coconut milk really helps cut the heat and thicken the sauce. I agree with other reviews that you can cut down the amount of milk however.
Very tasty curry but the texture was too soupy. I used only 3/4 can coconut milk and I couldn t thick it. I used more soy sauce too. I think you can use chicken (or maybe beef) in this recipe and make it without green beans and corn (or add later). It will be a great dish.
4 stars with my addition of 2 tsp fish sauce and about 1/2 of the coconut milk. I felt it was a good base recipe but wasn't at it's best without the fish sauce.
Delicious and very fragrant! I used 1 lime instead of 2 because it seemed like a lot yet it still turned out a little on the sour side so I added some sugar and chopped cashews to soften it. As others mentioned the consistency was watery. Don't skim on the coconut milk because that's what balances out the lime I used flour to thicken it and it turned out great. Stir in a teaspoon of fish sauce at the end for perfection!
The sauce seemed really unbalanced. First it was too sour; I added a teaspoon of brown sugar. Then I added salt but there was still something missing. We were halfway through dinner before I jumped up saying "FISH SAUCE. I knew it was missing something! No 'umami'"! That made it much better. I added red bell pepper and some sliced zucchini and yellow squash instead of baby corn. Leftovers were delicious.
