Keeping the curry paste refrigerated will preserve the flavor, and you will prevent the bacteria from flourishing since heat and moisture can exacerbate their growth. We normally serve our vegan Thai green curry with jasmine rice or rice noodles. All you need to know to cook Jasmine rice to perfection you can find it in this post by Recipe Tin Eats. I chose only brands that have been around for a long time and have a good reputation; so they’re all coming in with a certain amount of cred. New brands are popping up all the time, but I wanted ones that have at least passed the test of time.

When storing it, glass works best; however, BPA-free plastic isn't entirely harmful. If the brand comes in a tub encased in plastic, you can keep it by scooping the paste into a tightly fitting glass jar with a lid, and it will last longer in the fridge. Tofu. We like pan-frying the tofu before but you can add the tofu into the curry raw and let it cook with the rest of the ingredients. For this recipe, we use firm or extra firm tofu. Curry paste will keep for approximately 3 years unopened in ideal conditions. 1 For the sealed, unopened jarHeat some coconut oil in a pan over medium heat and add the green curry paste. Leave it cooking for 1-2 minutes. Ingredients: green chilli, shallot, lemongrass, salt, garlic, galangal, kaffir lime peel, cumin powder, coriander seed, turmeric. I try to like coconut milk but found my gorgeous vegetables muddled here. I like my veggies al dente and the cooking time recommended, while perfect for the curry sauce, is too long for the veggies (IMO). Next time I will make 1/2 a recipe of just the curry sauce and place in a gravy boat to drizzle lightly over the rice, tofu and lightly sautéed veggies. Transfer the curry paste to a glass jar or BPA-free plastic container if there are any leftovers. Put a spoon to work, mix the paste well, flatten it out, and lay a cling wrap on top. So, there won't be any air bubbles, and the top surface area gets reduced.

It’s a tough choice: red, yellow or green? When it comes to Thai curry, all of them promise a deliciously aromatic dish and a flavorful sauce redolent with the perfume of herbs and spices. As a trial run, I've been experimenting with the curry paste that I already used for cooking a month ago, and it's still tasty. It seems to have stayed fresh since it was refrigerated.The green curry paste derived its color from fresh green chiles, such as serrano. These pastes are usually the hottest. Canned and jarred foods benefit greatly from temperature and humidity-controlled drawers in refrigerators. When curry paste is in your refrigerator, you can keep it in this drawer. If you preserve the curry paste for a bit longer, you may be able to reuse it before it grows mold or begins to smell bad. After cutting these out, wrap the curry paste in plastic to prevent leakage. By casing all your curry paste balls separately, you can store them in freezer-safe bags and pop them in the freezer. Vegetables. For this curry, we use broccoli florets, red bell pepper, kale, and baby corn. Other vegetables that we like adding to this meal are green beans, carrots, sweet potato, snow peas, or eggplant. You can add any vegetables of your choice for this type of curry. Our paste for this green curry is made from scratch. Making thepaste from scratchmakes a huge difference when it comes to Thai curries. All you need are the right ingredients that you mostly find in Asian supermarkets and a good blender. You can as well, adjust the spice level of the paste to make the curry to your taste.
