Thai Curry Vegan Meatballs and Green Beans

I don’t know about you, but I never fully use green curry paste. Of course, I can freeze it in an ice cube tray – but it usually takes up valuable space in the freezer.

So, I slightly changed the traditional recipe: I added chopped green hot pepper and a lot of chopped cilantro.

Since one of us is sensitive to coconut – I replaced the traditional coconut milk with oat milk.

I replaced chicken with vegan minced chicken balls.

and served it with white rice.

Enjoy, and let me know how it turned out 😋❣

RECIPE

Thai Curry Vegan Meatballs and Green Beans

My version of Thai green curry: Plenty of cilantro, green chili pepper, oat milk, green beans, vegan chicken meatballs, and shatta peppers for added color and mild spiciness. Serve with white rice, lick your fingers, and run with your plate to the kitchen for extra.
