A Note on this Uncle Roger Thai Green Curry Recipe
In the video, Uncle Roger does not actually discuss the amount of each ingredient he is using. The amounts listed above is an estimation based on the visual given. But as Uncle Roger always says, don’t measure, just use feeling!
There are also two items that are expected to be prepared prior to cooking. The white rice is pre-cooked and served immediately at the end. Also, the Thai Eggplant is pre-soaked in water in order to soften it up prior to cooking. Everything else can be prepared as is. A lot of this can even be done well beforehand.
