Wednesday 8 August
This is a variation of gaeng khiao wan gai, Thai green curry
with chicken and eggplant. But since our
zephyr plants are producing tons of little squashes, and our bush beans a
precious few little purple wonders, a few of each snuck into the pan as well.
We sliced and stir-fried a couple
of thin Asian eggplants to start, then set them aside. We then took down an undisturbed can of
coconut milk and poured off the top cream; with this, we stir-fried a spoonful
or two of Mae Ploy green curry two minutes or so, until fragrant. Added the zephyr slices and stir-fried for 5
minutes (they could have gone even a little longer), and then the purple string
beans (which unfortunately turn regular green when they're cooked).
Finally we added the chicken, the
rest of the coconut milk, a splash of nam
pla, a couple of kaffir lime leaves, and a spritz of
lime juice. Cooked for 10 minutes, and
at the end, sprinkled with purple ruffled and green basil leaves for a pretty and
fragrant Thai-style dish.
