If few days a go I posted my personal recipe for vegan Thai curry, today I am not going to talk much about it. On this post I am not going to write new recipe, but rather to show the ingredient and what is possible. You can see my obsession here on Thai cuisine, even though might be my recipe are not consider as authentic, because I think authentic recipe are usually hold by old generation or people that studied with them in their warm, secret kitchen.

Let alone I converted this recipe into vegan, woww far-far from authentic, but the thing that I like this recipe are matter the most to me. I like the mellowness, fresh and light broth from this recipe, so yeah, I would called this recipe are my adaption of Green Thai curry.

Here I show you my ingredient, I used candle nut to create savoury nutty flavour into the  broth, but if you find the difficulty to find it you can replace it with roasted cashew nut, cashew nut are so far that most fitting to replace candle nut, with the same amount. I already tried several nut, almonds and also walnut, but if you also don’t have cashew nut, you still can used almond and walnut.

I also used galangal, galangal are not the same with ginger, the taste are really opposite in my palette, ginger are sweet, warm and spicy for me, while galangal are refreshing, savoury and quite salty. SO that is why it is quite opposite. I think you can easily find galangal in Asian grocery store, if you can not find it, better just skip it, it is still okay.

My post here are the update version than the recipe I posted earlier. SO I hope you enjoy my recipe. I enjoy this dishes with noodle, I can see how versatile this broth, I can enjoy it with rice or noodle or just alone with the bunch vegetable they are in it. I love the Romanesco in here, after infuse it in the broth for sometime, I can taste the smoky flavour from the Romanesco, I think you know how crazy I am with smoky taste *sigh

Here we go, shall we?
