Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Curry Base:

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the green curry paste and coconut milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat.

Notes:

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and use tofu or additional vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or snow peas.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick and satisfying meal.
  • Experiment with different protein options such as shrimp, beef, or pork to create new flavor variations of this classic Thai dish.
