Brian you are by FAR my favourite chef on KZbin! The way you break down all the steps and give no shame to the audience for trying different ways of cooking or using different ingredients, makes you an amazing teacher. Lots of love from New Zealand

[@transamgal9]

check out anti chef he's very entertaining 😄 I think a collb would be fantastic

[@marinap6441]

Can only agree!! Everything's explained so well, have learned so much from watching your videos, and your recipes always work out. Complete shopping list under the video, just perfect!!

[@thisswanwearssocks]

This recipe has become a staple in our house, we have made it to the delight of ourselves and guests many times now. My wife has also made vegan versions of this to the delight of our Austrian friends. Once when we were recently visiting them in Austria. What we learned from the Austrian vegan cookup: - Vitamix blender is amazing! (they had one and it kicks ass) - This recipie is increadibly resiliant, we had to sub in and out quite a few ingredients because of regional availability and veganese, this was still amazing.

[@bebos3001]

These weeknighting vids are such a help. They really add to the "go-to recipes" arsenal.

[@cdscores]

Just made this (with chicken) and it was fantastic. My wife kept raving and saying it was one of the best things I have ever made!

[@jaminkidd6285]

When using chicken, do you need to adjust the recipe a little bit? I'm assuming the meat needs to simmer longer to be fully cooked, which means the eggplant will be overcooked and mushy if you add the meat at the same step that Brian did.

[@Shitgotmegeekin]

@@jaminkidd6285 if are using thighs it'll probably work if you throw it in after the coconut milk

[@MissDelia]

If you can find pea aubergines, (small green pea looking things with an aniseed flavour) these really make a difference as well as thai basil. When I was in thailand I made a red curry paste with a lovely lady who taught me how to do it in a pestle and mortar. It took FOREVER! Over an hour for sure! She told me it was a thing over there, that a future mother in law would go to the potential brides house and ask her to make a paste... she would listen to how long it would take her and see if all the chilli seeds were pounded properly, If she didn't take ages and the seeds were visible then the girl wasn't good enough for her son!

[@kwhatten]

I HATE those little eggplants! They're always too hard. Everyone I know in Thailand pushes them to the side of the plate.

[@ghostgoat5508]

My wife and I just found your channel and have already made several of your recipes. They have all been beyond amazing. Videos are well edited and to the point. Keep up the great work!

[@randyhaun9127]

I made this over the weekend and it was terrific (a definite keeper). No Japanese eggplant locally, so I used the smallest eggplant I could find and used it all. Definitely more than the recipe called for, but still tasted great. I also used tilapia, which we always have on hand, and it worked nicely as a substitute for the black cod/sable fish. Thanks Brian!

[@vincentdacak9668]

I made this for dinner tonight (I just happened to have everything on hand except shallots) and it was absolutely AMAZING! I’m definitely adding this to my dinner rotation ✌️

[@tinekecarlson1220]

The way my mom got rid of the bitterness of conventional western eggplant was soaking slices of it in salt water for about 30. I've never known what people mean when they talk about how bitter it is.

[@johannesgutenburg9837]

so so so much this. it's funny how ignorant some commenters are of the fact that not everyone lives near an asian grocery!

This was the first brand that came up in Amazon. Why bother with stores?

[@loati94]

@@itsROMPERS... Same with amazon, not every country has the same products.

[@itsROMPERS...]

@@loati94 that's TRUE! But rather than drive 130 miles to a store that may not have what you want, probably good to just check Amazon because they probably have something that will work. Just sayin'.

[@ashmajumdar8155]

Great video to introduce a quick curry flavour profile, though it is not a green curry in the sense of preparation methods or ingredients but I do understand the need to make the ingredients accessible to your subscribers. Now, in an asian household, a small food processor is used to maybe slice and dice but never to extract flavour out of ginger and other aromatics. The reason being that a food processor shears vs a large mortar and pestle pulverises the cells to release the aromatics. In addition, it is also actually quicker to use a mortar and pestle than pull out a bulky food processor, dice veg and then hand wash the container and blades.The other thing to speed up curries that is often used is a pressure cooker though I don't think it is the same as a slow cooked curry.

[@mattlennert]

HEY BRI...I followed this recipe to the letter-including the second whizz with the immersion blender-and you know what? It kicked ass. My wife and I were oooing and ahhhing the whole time we ate our green dinner. I have made so many of your recipes and they are all spot-on winners.

[@stevemarshall6564]

Made this and it turned out really really well. If you're thinking about making it, pull the trigger and go for it. Used chicken instead. Came across some kaffir lime leaves so I threw 3 of them into the curry paste. Only ended up using a can and a half (about 600ml total) of the coconut milk. Did a full 60gs of jalapeno instead of green pepper. Was having a hard time getting the curry paste to break down enough so I added lime juice until I got the right consistency. Thanks for another amazing recipe, this will definitely be high on the dinner rotation for me.

[@wm-nu1yf]

Always bought curry paste until I saw this. Used this as a template, but used several jalapenos and green habaneros instead of the green peppers ( I like it really spicy). I have Thai basil and lemongrass growing at my house. Made 3 jars of paste and put 2 of them in the freezer. I've done this several times now and it always turns out great. Thanks :)

Nice Brian. Been a while since I made a green curry paste from scratch, gotta get my game on! Indian curry pastes from scratch are also amazing but quite time consuming - although you end up with a bunch that can be refrigerated for months. Another thing I have not done for a while.

[@neilparille6596]

Love it! If you decide to make curries a regular I would love to have a Panang curry recipe (because I love it and I’m a little selfish)

[@bobbyc1302]

I love Brian and his recipes, but this time, I would say, go the Mae Ploy green curry paste he showed at 2:41. It has hard to buy stuff like Galangal ginger in it, which makes a world of difference. Regular ginger just doesn't give you that authentic Thai flavour. Anyway, still love this guy 100% and have used many of his recipes to great success. Thanks Brain!

[@IAmCerebralAssassin]

Yet another great video from you! Thank you for providing such thorough and concise steps! You mentioned that you may make a stuffing recipe nearly two years ago, but said it's a bit tricky to formulate because you only make it twice a year. Considering that family festivities are right around the corner, do you think you may share a stuffing recipe with your awesome tips this year? 🙏🥺

As someone who is allergic to all shellfish & most fish, I'm so happy to see a curry recipe that doesn't use shrimp paste. Thank you for that. I absolutely LOVE Asian/Thai/Indian food especially curry but have to be so so careful & it makes me sad the stuff I can't eat

[@jnc07res]

[@jaakkolamminpaa7959]

I checked this out of interest, but I highly recommend using actual birdseye chillies or green curry paste. It is vastly different from this. I'm not saying this was bad, but it is very different. Of course it is up to one's taste. Most important differences are shrimp paste (which seems to be missing) and galang, which despite many people saying, is not like ginger. Also, do not skip the fish sauce. It is a must for authentic taste. You can or should also add some kaffir lime leaves or lime juice straight to the sauce to give it some acidity. This is a good recipe, but I extra steps.

[@petermoore900]

This is great. I love Thai green curry. The curry paste is amazing. For the main recipe I personally found the fish sauce a smidge overpowering and would use less (if any) next time. Also if using chicken or beef, I would cook the meat first next time until done, then the vegetables. Chicken and beef take a lot longer to poach than fish and by the time I was comfortable with the chicken being ready the eggplant in particular had lost most of its firmness. Oh also I used 4 whole habaneros and didn't find it nearly hot enough but that's because I'm a psycho. (however I think I found a produce store in Chicago with FRESH ghost peppers and Carolina reapers so that'll be next time) :D. Cheers B-man, thanks for another tasty meal.
