This 5-Ingredient Green Curry is a quick and easy Thai-inspired dish. With just a few simple ingredients like tofu, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and green curry paste, this flavorful curry comes together in no time. Optional add-ins like cilantro, raisins, fish sauce, and brown sugar add depth and complexity to the dish.

For The Green Curry

Optional Extras

Steps

1
Press the tofu with paper towels to remove water. Cut tofu into cubes. In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the tofu, sprinkle with salt, and pan fry for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
2
Add sweet potatoes, coconut milk, and curry paste to the soup pot. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender. Add broccoli and tofu. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green.
3
I like to add a handful of golden raisins and cilantro (I know, I know, lots of levels of weird going on here) and I pinky promise that a quick swish of fish sauce and a sprinkle of brown sugar will take this over the top.

Notes

Serve over steamy white rice! But hopefully that’s obvious.

IF USING MAE PLOY OR MAESRI BRAND CURRY PASTE, USE LESS! I love spicy food, but when we tried it with Mae Ploy I just about burned my mouth off. Start with 1 tablespoon and work up from there. However, Thai Kitchen brand is much milder and 4 tablespoons is the right amount for that one.
