My husband and I are just beginning to plan a trip to Thailand for next spring. We both love Thai food and beaches so I am getting excited to create some new recipes before we go. This Green Thai Curry is one of my favourite recipes to make every Spring. It’s also delicious any time of the year that you have a hankering for Thai food.
I hope you enjoy this new Green Thai Curry dish as much as I have.
For those of you who are vegetarian , or Vegan you can leave out the chicken or replace with an equal amount of firm tofu.
A Wok is the easiest to cook with but a deep skillet will do a great curry as well.

2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 White or Yellow Onion, chopped fine

1/2 can of baby corn
½ can sliced water chestnuts
5oz Green curry paste

Turn heat down to Low while you set the table and prepare your guests for a taste sensation that they will be raving about to all their friends. Serves 4 .
