Green Curry 1–Hot Thai Kitchen!

Learn how to cook Thai food the real way with a real Thai. I was born and raised in Thailand, and I lived there for 20 years. I have always been obsessed with food and can’t think of a life without it, so I went and got a nutrition degree in Canada, cooked in a few professional kitchens, and then off to culinary school in San Francisco. I am passionate about my culture, particularly its food, and I want to share it with the world. That’s why I’m here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do making it.

  1. I suppose I just can sautée the curry paste in regular coconut oil? then I dont need to break down some coconut milk 🙂 And is there anything special about adding coconut milk, for example adding it slowly?

  2. Hi Elizabeth. The main color difference between the red and green is the red vs green chilies. The herbs and spices used are similar but not entirely the same in proportion so the flavors differ. Yellow is an entirely different curry that uses spices like cumin and turmeric (hence the yellow), it’s milder and has a flavor more similar to Malay/Indian curries.

    Hi Pai, my name is Elizabeth i was this wondering what the diffident between red, green and yellow curry? and what can i make with all the diffident curry?

  4. Rendering the coconut oil really made all the difference. Thanks for the tip. You’re very detailed. Love your clear, easy to understand explanation. Thanks.

    You should make your own paste tbh. The ingredients shouldn’t be impossible to find. Second headsup, take off the string on the kaffir lime leaves. Besides that great job!

  6. What brand of curry paste do you recommend? What’s the best site for ordering it online?

  7. I plan on trying this recipe for my mom when I visit her in Hawaii, and with the easy access to coconuts I thought I might try making my own coconut milk. About how much milk do you get from each coconut? Thank you =)
