Thai green curry paste is one of those vivid and memorable flavors that has earned an international reputation for enlivening food. From soups to curries and stir-fries, green curry paste can add zest and aroma to vegetables, eggs, or meat or fish if you’re so inclined. As with spice blends, you can quite easily find storebought green curry pastes but—just as with spice blends—I like to take just the little extra trouble and time to make my own to add that extra vibrancy and authenticity to my dishes.
Not surprisingly, green curry paste is a great way to liven up simple fried potatoes. Looking for something to go along with a simple and comforting Thai white bean and squash soup, I came up with this equally simple and delicious side dish of golden fried potatoes tossed with spinach, cilantro and, of course, green curry paste. Just as with the soup, I think you’ll find it a wonderful and colorful addition to any Thai-inspired meal.
