Green Curry Spring Rolls

Great things happen when you combine two of the most popular Thai dishes into one! Green curry spring rolls are exactly what it sounds like: crispy spring rolls filled with that familiar flavour of Thai green curry we all love. It's a great two-bite party appetizer that's unique, and you can also wrap them in advance and fry then whenever you're ready to serve. In this video I also show you how to make mini spring rolls using just the regular sized wrapper!

Reheating tips: These also reheat very well so you can fry them all at once, and if they've cooled down half way through your party, simply stick them in a 375°F oven for 5 mins until they're nice and crispy again.

Green Curry Spring Rolls


Ingredients

  • - 2 Tbsp green curry paste (this depends on how spicy you want it)
  • A big handful Thai basil leaves
  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • 250g ground chicken or turkey
  • ¼ cup sweet corn kernels, cooked
  • ⅓ cup red bell pepper, small diced
  • ½ cup carrot strings or small dice
  • A dash of fish sauce, as needed
  • 2 tsp palm sugar, chopped
  • 3 kaffir lime leaves, centre stem removed and finely julienned
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 Tbsp water
  • 3 - 4 Tbsp bread crumbs (you may not need this, this is just in case the filling ends up too wet)
  • 12 sheets spring roll wrappers (8-inch square)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Thai sweet chili dipping sauce (homemade recipe here)

Shop Ingredients & Kitchen Tools I Use


Instructions

  1. Julienne about 10 basil leaves and add to a mortar and pestle, chop the rest and save it for later. Add the curry paste and pound until the leaves are blended into the paste.
  2. In a pot or wok, reduce coconut milk by about half. Add the curry paste and sugar, then cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic and thick. Add the ground chicken or turkey and break up the pieces so there are no more chunks. Keep cooking to dry out the mixture, until there is no liquid pooling at the bottom of the pan.
  3. Once dry, add all vegetables and kaffir lime leaves, then cook for about 1-2 minutes or just until the vegetables are softened slightly. Taste and add fish sauce as needed.
  4. Pour the cornstarch slurry over the mixture (don't pour into one spot) and stir to mix immediately. You will notice that the mixture will start to hold together better.
  5. Turn off the heat and at this point if it still looks wet, stir in breadcrumbs to help absorb the liquid. You do not want any pooling liquid or it will make the wrapper soggy. Spread filling out onto a plate to let it cool to room temp before wrapping.
  6. Once filling is cooled, stir in the remaining chopped Thai basil.
  7. To wrap: If making mini spring rolls, cut 8-inch spring roll wrappers into 4 equal squares. See video at 5:20 for how to wrap.  Use about 1 Tbsp of filling per piece.
  8. To fry: Heat frying oil in a pot to 350°F and fry until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving with sweet chili dipping sauce.
  9. To reheat, bake in a 375°F oven for 5 minutes or until hot and crispy. Green curry spring rolls

Tom yum goong maybe the most famous soup of Thailand, but its milder creamier sister, tom kha gai , is my personal favourite. This comforting Thai coconut chicken soup recipe is infused with the classic Thai herbs: lemongrass, galangal, and makrut (kaffir) lime leaves. It's so easy yet so loveable that when someone asks, "I'm new to Thai food, what should I try/make first?" Tom kha gai is my answer.

If you love mangoes, and you love mango desserts, Mango Royale, aka Mango Float, is an absolute must-try; right after mango and sticky rice , of course! It's a frozen Filipino dessert that takes advantage of peak-of-the-season mangoes, and uses only 5 ingredients. There's no baking involved, and it's so easy it's essentially fool-proof!

I LOVE all kinds of basil, but I don't love how quickly it goes bad and that it doesn't freeze well. So I came up with this recipe as a way to use up any amount of basil you have on hand . It's an easy and versatile sauce that only uses pantry staples, and can be stored in the fridge for at least a week. Reheat it and pour onto any cooked protein, or use it as a stir fry sauce - or heck, you can even use it as gravy for your mashed potatoes. It can also be made vegan. The possibilities are endless!

Imagine this: soft and creamy ice cream bars that you didn't need to whip or churn. All you have to do is cook the ice cream base, pour it into a mold, then cut it into pieces. And it's so soft your teeth will glide right through it as you take a bite, and it's wonderfully chewy. Yes, chewy.

I wanted a fried rice recipe that really celebrates the flavours of chilies - not just their heat. This fried rice features not one, not two, but three different types of chilies, combined with the fragrance of Thai basil to tie it all together! And no, it doesn't make this dish overwhelmingly spicy, and you can indeed customize the heat level while still preserving all the delicious chili flavour. It's not something I created out of thin air, but a traditional Thai dish (with a couple of tweaks from me)!

If you love cooking Asian food, oyster sauce is probably already in your kitchen. But do you know if the one you have is a "good one”? And is the expensive oyster sauce you bought (or didn't buy) worth the splurge?

With over 3 million views on YouTube, this recipe is one of the most popular, and an OG, on Hot Thai Kitchen. This world-famous tom yum soup is universally loved; and with this authentic recipe I promise you can make it as good as, if not better than, the ones in restaurants. It's one of the first dishes I learned to make as a child because it's so easy, making this a great first Thai dish to try!

Thai green curry chicken is my most popular recipe on the YouTube channel with over 4 million views . If you want a completely authentic recipe, and one that maximizes deliciousness, this is it right here. It is one of the best known dishes of Thai cuisine, and despite its complex flavours, it is actually quite easy to make at home. It's also gluten free, and adaptable for vegans!

Pad see ew is one of the most well-known and well-loved Thai dishes, but most people only know of the more common version of pad see ew that uses fresh wide rice noodles (ho fun). This version however uses thin rice vermicelli, and it's the one that I actually grew up eating in Thailand. It’s an incredibly fast dish to make; from the time I get up to cook to the time I sit down to eat, it takes only 20 minutes! You can even watch me prep and cook it all up in real time in the video tutorial below just to see how fast it really is!

Easy, delicious, and versatile; what else could you ask for in a chicken recipe? Lemongrass chicken is a staple menu item in Vietnamese restaurants in Canada, and one that my husband gets all the time - which is why I was inspired to recreate it. It is so quick to prepare, kid-friendly, can last you the whole week in the fridge (yay meal prep), and you can grill or broil it!
