Ways to Use Green Curry Paste
-
- Green Curry: The most obvious and traditional use is to make Thai Green Curry. Sauté the paste with coconut milk, vegetables and your choice of protein (chicken, shrimp, tofu) for a delicious and fragrant curry. Keto Thai Chicken Green Curry is always a favourite!
- Stir-fries: Add a spoonful of Keto Thai Curry Paste to your stir-fries for an extra kick of flavor. Try it with a dash of coconut cream in our Salmon Stir Fry
- Marinades: Create a flavorful marinade mixing with coconut milk, lime juice, and a touch of fish sauce or soy sauce. Meal prep chicken, beef, or fish for a few hours before grilling or baking.
- Soups and stews: Enhance the taste of soups or in an Instant Pot curry or slow cooker.
- Dips and Sauces: Mix curry paste (use any curry paste like our red curry paste, yellow curry paste, or tikka paste) with yogurt, sour cream, or mayonnaise to create a zesty dip or sauce.
- Noodles and Rice Dishes: Add a teaspoon or two of paste to fried rice, rice noodles (such as Pad Thai), or stir-fried noodles for a burst of Thai flavors. For keto-friendly use Keto Pasta or Cauliflower Rice. It blends well with other ingredients and infuses the dish with its distinctive taste.
- Grilled or Roasted Vegetables: Toss your favourite vegetables in a mixture of paste, oil, and a little salt. Grill or roast them until tender and caramelized for a delicious side dish bursting with flavours.
- Spreads: Mix with softened butter or cream cheese to create a savoury spread for bread, crackers, or as a filling for sandwiches.
