Thai Curry Meal Prep

Authentic Green Thai Curry

Is this an authentic Thai green curry recipe?

I love Thai curry, it’s absolutely delicious and it’s an exciting food. It’s amazing to be able to make a lower calorie version packed with meat and veggies that you can eat everyday. It gives you all the nutrients you need and it packs a punch of protein with veggies that will fill you up. Serve it with some white rice.

Now what’s great about this recipe is that you can use either Red or Green curry paste for it and you can also use yellow curry paste. Frankly speaking you can use any pre-made curry paste and follow this method. that’s what makes it amazing.

Why do we use store bought Thai curry paste?

The truth is not all pre-made food is bad or of lower quality. Sure you can make your own paste at home. In fact I’ve got an epic recipe for a Thai red curry paste.  But it is a lot of work and you need to make sure you have all the right spices and ingredients. Buying curry paste is a far more simple and time saving option. Most store bought curry paste is of very good quality and especially to prepare a quick and easy meal it’s perfect.

Like I said you can definitely make a big batch of it from scratch and store it. But don’t let anyone tell you not to stock up on some store bought paste for quick meals.
