Green Curry

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Luckily, 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!
    I love green curry too with chicken, as does Lena! I do agree with her, I'm not fond of bamboo shoots, either!

  3. Can't find fresh bamboo shoots here too..but the can one works fine, esp. if you do with flavourful dishes like curry!
    It looks very YUMMY!

  11. Great 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?
