Notes

If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add a few more teaspoons of brown sugar. Also feel free to adjust the heat by playing with the amount of green curry paste – more for an extra kick, or less for a milder taste. Don’t hesitate to customize further by tossing in other favorite vegetables like bamboo shoots or baby corn. With leftovers, the flavors tend to deepen, making this dish even more delicious the next day. Enjoy!
