Thai green curry?

[SaraBellumHertz]

Usually I just make paste, add chicken and coconut milk then serve with rice but I'm starting to feel this is a bit heavy on meat.

What veg can I add to bulk it out - I can't think what would go

Green beans and baby corn. Or aubergine is nice.

Baby corn, peppers, sweet potato, runner or broad beans in pods, thinly sliced carrots, courgette and water chestnut. Just about most things, really. Mmm, I fancy one tonight now.

I put in a thinly sliced red pepper and some courgette. I sometimes serve it with a salad if shredded lettuce, salad opions and raw sugar snaps with a bit of thai seasoning which is v nice.

I put green beans, sugar snap peas, babycorn and new potatoes in mine so we only use 1 chicken breast between 2 people. I sometimes make it with white fish for a change.

Baby sweetcorn, frozen peas, spinach, courgette slices

I use baby corn, spring onions, pak choi, courgette and broccoli. Sometimes fling some mushrooms in that I've fried off first so they're not so soggy iyswim.

Thanks - I wanted to use aubergine but the store was all out.

I quite fancy green beans and baby corn, but wouldn't spinach, peas and courgette be a bit "English"

Baby corn and mange tout, possibly thinly sliced red pepper.

Oh yes, I use green beans too, forgotten that. I also use, if I have in the freezer, soya beans. Can you get the little pea aubergines where you are - they are very much a Thai ingredient and I sometimes get them when I remember to go to the market.

Frank I can get the aubergines that are about the size of an egg and have had them in a curry that someone else cooked for me.

I have also seen soya beans which I rather like but are more expensive than chicken

Yes, indeed they are expensive - however when I can be arsed I go up to Chinatown and get a sack of them, cook, pod and then freeze - they cost peanuts. But, I guess it helps that I am in London and can go to Chinatown easily I guess.

frank I live about 3500 miles from china town.....

But it's interesting they're expensive in the uk also. I realise it makes no sense when living overseas but I have a real aversion to buying expensive products that would be a bargain in the UK

Hahahaha!

I hear you on that. We've been back in London for 11 months now, after 8 years abroad. It could be deeply frustrating at times when I wanted something that was so simple to get in the UK.

we normally have bamboo shoots in ours along with onions, mangetout/sugar snap peas, baby sweetcorn, carrots, peppers, etc
