NOTE FROM MODERATOR: Here's a quick and easy Thai curry dish from Jan directed

to a query from another new member, Marion. Thanks, Jan!!!! Lovely to see new

people, new recipes, great new ideas.

 

Please everyone (especially newest members who are still trying to find their

feet here), remember that this is a _vegetarian_ group - no animal meat

discussion here at all, including 'animals' that walk, crawl, fly, hop, swim or

sit around lazily on or under rocks, etc. If you have recipes that include

such products, please edit them accordingly _before_ posting, okay? Hugs to you

all!

 

And now, here's Jan's post to Marion immediately below.

Hi Marion,

 

I am a cook who went veggie about 2 years ago and there are so many

things to do with your food - it is so much more interesting.....

 

A great idea that I tried just last night was a Thai green curry

using Tempah (it's fermented sprouts - and it tastes great and is

very versatile)

 

I make an easy curry

 

1 14 0z tin of coconut milk

3tbsp sugar

1/4 cup of 'fish sauce' substitute

1 tbsp of vegetarian green curry paste [some contain fish, so read the label]

 

mix together in a pot add 1 pkg of tempah cut into small cubes - as

it expands a bit upon cooking-

 

heat to a simmer and continue for 15 minutes and then add 4 or 5

little ball shaped asian eggplant and 8 lime (kaffir) leaves and cook

for an additional 5 minutes

 

by this time the eggplant should be soft but still firm then add a

1/4 cup of Thai basil leave right before serving.

 

I serve this over rice.

 

This is worthy of guests a great crowd pleaser even for non-veggies

 

You can find tempah in the freezer section of any health food store.

It is so versatile - details are on the back of the package.

 

 

Please note that you can buy

cocnut milk

'fish sauce' substitute [Moderator's note: sometimes called Vegetarian Fish

Sauce]

vegetarian green curry paste [Moderator's note: read label to be sure no fish

ingredients]

asian eggplant

kaffir leaves

thai basil leaves

 

at one store - a Thai grocer - don't be shy they will be more than

happy to help you with the ingredients - it is well worth the trip

becasue once you have these ingredients you will be making this often

- restaurant taste in your own home!

 

Enjoy

 

Janice

Thank you so much for the Thai curry recipe Jan. It sounds delicious. Oh,

if ONLY I could get vegetarian fish sauce substitute here in Holland. If I

had known when I left Australia that it wasn't available here I would have

organised a pipeline!!!!

 

 

 

Marion, welcome to the group. Does your screen name 'down under' mean that

you are an Aussie? If so, I should probably be saying g'day mate instead

of welcome (LOL).

 

 

 

Cheers from Marie
