When you think of Thai cuisine, a few dishes immediately pop up.
Pad thai, spring rolls, noodle soup, and of course, a Thai green curry!
This Thai green curry recipe is extremely simple to make and tastes amazing.
I have added the curry paste recipe too for those of you who want to go 100% authentic. Sometimes these ingredients are hard to come by, so a store bought green curry paste is also fine.

Making The Curry

Add remaining vegetables and keep stirring for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add water, bring to boil over medium heat then add soya sauce and sugar.

Enjoy!
