Ingredients

Instructions

  • Warm a grill pan on low-medium heat. Place pre-cut mushrooms directly onto the pan without any oil. Flip them periodically to ensure even grilling on each side until they develop light grill marks.
  • Pour half of the coconut milk into a wok or pot and set over medium heat. Cook until you notice the coconut oil starting to separate from the milk.
  • Stir in the red curry paste and mix well with the coconut milk.
  • Pour in the rest of the coconut milk, stirring well, then add salt and palm sugar. Continue cooking until the palm sugar has completely melted into the curry.
  • Add the grilled mushrooms and kaffir lime leaves, bringing the curry to a gentle boil before turning off the heat. Serve immediately with steamed rice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Mushrooms: I used white shimeji mushrooms and eryngii mushrooms (king oyster mushrooms). Feel free to tweak. Cut your mushrooms into small, bite-sized pieces, depending on their type.
