Tina's Thai Green Curry


* Green curry paste
* 1 tbsp of oil
* Can of coconut milk
* 2 large ish potatoes cut into small (not tiny) chunks
* 2 sticks of lemongrass
* Small can of water chesnuts
* Bunch of mange tout
* Bunch of baby corn.
* 1 tbsp thai fish sauce / light soy sauce for veggie option
* White Thai Jasmine rice
* ½ bag of Quorn chicken-like pieces


Method:

* Heat the oil in a wok.
* Fry about 3 tbsp of the paste for about 3 mins
* Add the coconut milk & bring to the boil.
* Add the fish sauce / light soy sauce
* Add the potatoes & lemongrass & simmer for about 10 mins
* Add the water chesnuts & quorn (from frozen) & cook for a further 10 mins
* Bring the rice to the boil & cook
* 5 minutes before the rice is ready add the mange tout & baby corn
* Add the fresh coriander just before the rice is ready.

Serve curry with a sprig of fresh coriander

It's a good idea to have a spare can of coconut milk or some solid creamed coconut to hand- if the curry is too spicy or too much of the liquid has evaporated then it will come in very useful!
