So I haven’t been my ironic cook self lately…and that’s for two reasons:
1. As my last video shows….I’ve been busy becoming a kick-ass journo…or something to that affect!
2. I have….shock horror…began to cook in an un-ironic way!
Granted it’s not always good…but I’ve started just cooking…and enjoying it! I don’t want to be bad anymore. I want to learn. I want to be able to host dinner parties in my New York loft apartment!….
However….I still have a long way to go!
Here is a little example of the rubbish I served up the other day….
I should mention that approximately 12 hours after this response I had to take a day off uni because I felt pretty bleak…I like to think it wasn’t because of my cooking…but who knows!
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the green curry paste and sugar and cook over a fairly high heat for about a minute, stirring with the lemongrass paste. Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the chicken pieces and lime leaves or zest until coated in the paste. Add the chilli and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the coconut milk and soy sauce and bring to a simmer, cooking for 25-30 minutes until thickened slightly. Stir in the coriander and lime juice. Check for seasoning, adding more soy sauce if needed.
The curry is now best left to sit for a few minutes so the sauce becomes creamier.
