Ingredients
  

For the curry:

  • 2 tablespoons of Thai green curry paste
  • 400 ml of coconut milk unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon of matcha tea powder sifted
  • 200 g of firm tofu drained, pressed, and cubed
  • 1 zucchini sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 handful of green beans cut into 3-4 cm pieces
  • 6 fresh shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 lime for the juice

For garnish:

  • 1 handful of Thai basil leaves
  • 1 handful of fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts

For serving:

  • 200 g of jasmine or basmati rice steamed

Instructions
 

Infuse the coconut milk with matcha tea:

  • In a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut milk (do not boil).
  • Add the sifted matcha tea powder and whisk thoroughly until fully incorporated and the milk turns a smooth green color. Set aside.

Prepare the curry base:

  • In a wok or large skillet, heat a drizzle of neutral oil over medium heat.
  • Add the green curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes to release its aromas.

Cook the curry:

  • Add the vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, green beans, and shiitake mushrooms) and sauté for 2-3 minutes in the curry paste.
  • Pour the matcha-infused coconut milk into the wok and mix gently. Add the tofu cubes.
  • Season with soy sauce, coconut sugar, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  • Let the curry simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. Stir occasionally to prevent the coconut milk from sticking to the bottom.

Finish and serve:

  • Serve the curry hot in bowls or shallow plates. Garnish with Thai basil leaves, fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts for added crunch.
  • Accompany with steamed jasmine or basmati rice.
