We went to trader joe's last weekend and while browsing the aisles (aimlessly), we came across a jar of thai green curry. How convenient! It is one of our favorite thai dishes and I definitely wanted to give it a try. The one we have at our thai restaurant has chicken, eggplants and bamboo shoots in it.
I couldn't find fresh bamboo shoots so I got the canned one ....and boy oh boy! does it smell!! Still tastes good so I will let this one go :)
The finished product~ It was so easy to make and tasted pretty good! It was a little tangy (I don't know if this is the right expression for this taste- kind of a sour, a little too much lime juice taste) but still very delicious.
i enjoy eating green curry too with chicken. The outlet i go too serve with chicken only, no bamboo shoots but i'm alright cos i'm not too fond of bamboo shoots.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, we have an Asian market locally that even carries fresh Asian vegetable, and all kinds of weird mushrooms, that you can only get in a can. No Trader Joe's here, in S. Florida!
ReplyDeleteI love green curry too with chicken, as does Lena! I do agree with her, I'm not fond of bamboo shoots, either!
FAB!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Can't find fresh bamboo shoots here too..but the can one works fine, esp. if you do with flavourful dishes like curry!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very YUMMY!
I love Trader Joes! Wonderful dish you created!
ReplyDeleteSooo wish there was a Trader Joes near me! I only have the "standard" supermarkets. Never had curry, bet it's good:@)
ReplyDeleteNice job! Funny I also had curry this week but not the Thai version. It was Japanese. ;)
ReplyDeleteP.S Happy shopping!
Canned bamboo shoots is really a great alternative and cheap ! Love the tangy sauce !

I have fresh bamboo shoot in the fridge now and I also have ready pack green curry , time for me to cook it.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Even if something we make at home doesn't turn out exactly like something we'd buy out, isn't it just really rewarding to know we did it ourselves?
ReplyDeletehopped over from a friend's blog - glad I did! this green curry looks fab!
ReplyDeleteI love green curry, and your photo looks delish! What a cute blog you have!
