WHAT IS THAI GREEN CURRY?
Thai green curry is a vibrant and aromatic dish made with coconut milk, green chilies, and fragrant herbs like cilantro, basil, lemongrass, and kaffir limes leaves. It has the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and tanginess. Thai green curry has a fresher and more aromatic flavor than red curry. You can usually find it with tender chicken, shrimp, or tofu, along with veggies like bamboo shoots or bell peppers, all simmered in that rich and fragrant sauce. Often served over rice, Thai green curry is a bold and flavor-packed dish that is both delicious and addicting!
WHERE DO I FIND GREEN CURRY PASTE?
You can make your own green curry paste, or use store bought curry paste. Here in this recipe, I used Maesri Green Curry Paste, which you can find in any Asian grocery store or on Amazon US.
HOMEMADE WONTONS
Making wontons at home is easier than you might think! Although you can certainly use store bought wontons in this recipe, I highly recommend making your own wontons at home! Homemade wontons are fresher, more flavorful, and you can customize the filling to your liking.
