LEARN HOW TO COOK THAI GREEN CURRY SEAFOOD


Thai Green Curry Seafood

The Thai Green Curry Seafood (แกงเขียวหวานทะเล) in this case is home-made in the same recipe I used before to make the Thai Green Curry Chicken. This delicious dish is basically deeply aromatic and enriched with healthy homemade green curry paste, fresh coconut milk, marry well with Dory fish fillet, prawn and squid stuffed with minced pork ( You can also apply minced chicken or beef as well ). So, if you love seafood then you will enjoy this dish-it is a fantastic curry.



Thai Green Curry Seafood Ingredients will be as follows:


4 1/2 Tablespoon Fresh Home-Made Thai Green Curry Paste (Depends On How Hot & Spicy You Want It To Be)

You can refer to my previous post on "Learn How To Cook Thai Green Curry Chicken" to obtain my home-made Thai Green Curry Paste recipe as illustrated above:


5 Pieces Squids


1 Dory Fish Fillet


17 Pieces Prawns


300G Minced Pork










7 Round Eggplants


A Handful Of Pea Aubergines



Prepare 9 Fresh Kaffir Lime Leaves And Fold Into Half And Tearing The Leaf Away From Either Side Of The Stem.










A Handful Of Fresh Basil Leaves


1 Big Red & Green Chili


Big Chilies Finely Sliced

1 Bowl Fresh Coconut Milk
    









1 Coriander Root
          

4 Cloves Garlic











1/2 Teaspoon White Pepper Seed











2 Tablespoon Fish Sauce

                 
1 Teaspoon Palm Sugar

1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce

1/2 Tablespoon Soya Sauce
Simple Step-By-Step Guide To Cook Thai Green Curry Seafood As Follows:

   


STEP 1
Prepare And Place All Your Ingredients (Coriander Root, Garlic And White Pepper Seeds) In A Mortar.





STEP 2
I Used A Mortar And Pestle For The Harder To Crush Items. Give All The Ingredients Above Pounding With The Mortar And Pestle To A Paste.  





STEP 3
Then Add In The Above Paste To The Minced Pork And Cream It With Oyster Sauce And Soya Sauce. 





STEP 4
Mix And Blend It Well. Set It Aside To Marinate For At Least 15 Minutes. 





STEP 5
Rinse The Squids Under Running Water By Carefully Removing The Internal Without Puncturing The Body So That They Can Be Stuffed. Then Stuff The Squids With Marinated Minced Pork And Cut Into 1 Inch Slices As Shown For Easier Cooking Purposes. Set Aside.        





STEP 6
Refresh Frozen Prawns By Soaking In Salted Water. You Might See The Black Vein That Runs Along The Back Of The Prawn Is The Digestive Tract. De-vein A Prawn By Using A Small Knife To Make A Slit Along The Middle Of The Back And Pull Out The Black Vein With The Help Of The Tip Of The Knife. Leave The Overall Shell As It Preserves The Juices And Natural Flavors.Further, It Looks Good When Cooked! Rinse Prawns Under Running Water And Keep Clean Prawns In Ice Water Until You Are Ready To Cook Them So As To Preserve Its Freshness. And Remember To Pat Dry With Paper Towels Before Cooking.   .






STEP 7
Rinse Dory Fish Fillet Thoroughly And Cut Into Chunks. Pat Dry With Paper Towels Before Cooking.


STEP 8
Soak Big Chilies, Basil Leaves, Round Egg Plants, Pea Aubergine In Rice Water Or Salted Water For At Least 10 Minutes So As To Easily Remove Insects or Pesticides. Then, Wash It Thoroughly With Clean Water.






STEP 9
Separate The Basil Leaves From The Stems And Set It Aside.






STEP 10
Cut Round Egg Plants Into Bite-Size Pieces And Soak In Salted Water So As To Prevent It From Turning Brownish In Color. 






STEP 11
Heat A Pot Over Medium High Heat. Pour In 1/2 Cup Of Coconut Milk In A Pot And Stir Occasionally, Until Oil Surfaces Or It Almost Separates.






STEP 12
Add The Green Curry Paste, Keep Stirring The Paste With Coconut Milk Well To Prevent It From Sticking To The Pot, Until Fragrant, And See a Film Of Green Oil Surfaces.








STEP 13
Add The Dory Fish Fillet And Squid Stuffed. Gradually, Add What Is Remaining Of Your Coconut Milk A Little At A Time And Stir To Combine. Bring To A Simmering Boil Over Low |Heat And Stir Occasionally, Until The Dory Fish Fillet And Squid Stuffed Is Cooked Through And The Sauce Thickens Slightly.







STEP 14
Then Add Prawns, Fish Sauce, Palm Sugar, Half The Basil Leaves, Pea Aubergines And Half The Kaffir Lime Leaves To Curry Mixture, Stir Until well Combined Into The Sauce and Continue To Simmer For 2-3 Minutes Or Until Prawns Have Turned Plump And Reddish In Color.





STEP 15
Remove From Heat. Ladle The Thai Green Curry Seafood Into A Serving Bowl. Garnish With The Remaining Basil And Kaffir Lime Leaves Before Serving. And That Is It, Your Thai Green Curry Seafood Is Ready And You Can Serve with Steamed Rice Alongside.


Foot Note:
Always Do A "TASTE-TESTING". If The Curry Is Not Salty, Then Add Fish Sauce (Instead Of Salt) Until Desired Taste Is Achieved.
