Thai Green Beef Curry

I think everyone knows I love my cow. Anything I can substitute with beef, I would. I do like chickie but I'm a beef girl. 

So feel free to substitute with chicken if you want though. These is a simple green curry using store bought green curry paste. You can make it yourself but I rather just buy!

I grow my own basil so I just love to cook using homegrown herbs! See the stalks with no leaves ?? That's because I used them!

Ingredients

1 clove garlic, chopped

2-3 tablespoons green curry paste

1 packet of coconut milk (180g) with 2 cups water (adjust accordingly)

1-2 tablespoons fish sauce 

1 tablespoon palm sugar 

300g Shabu-shabu or sukiyaki beef 

2 lime leaves

A handful of sweet basil leaves

Coriander leaves 

Aubergines

Pea Aubergines

Sauté the garlic in a bit of oil and add in the curry paste. Add the coconut milk and simmer. Add the Aubergines first because they take longer to cook than the beef. I choose sukiyaki or shabu-shabu is because they are thinly sliced and take no more than a minute to cook. Add all the rest of the herbs and seasonings according to taste. Serve with hot rice, fish cakes and mango salad!
