Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 can coconut milk
- 125 ml sweet chili sauce
- 4 tbsp fish sauce (or reduced-sodium soy sauce)
- 3 tbsp Thai green curry paste
- Thinly sliced mushrooms, as much as you like
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 6 Cape Hake fillets (or any white fish)
- Rice and veggies, to serve
Instructions
- Grab a medium pan and pour in 1 can of coconut milk.
- Warm it over medium heat.
- Add 125 mL sweet chili sauce, 4 tbsp fish sauce (or soy sauce), and 3 tbsp Thai green curry paste. Stir it all together.
- Toss in the thinly sliced mushrooms and 3 cloves of garlic.
- Let everything simmer gently for about 20 minutes, stirring now and then, until the flavors really mingle.
- Drop in the 6 Cape Hake fillets.
- Cover and steam them in the sauce for 3β5 minutes until the fish is tender and moist. Donβt overcook; you want them soft and flaky.
- Serve your curry fish over rice with some fresh veggies on the side.
- Spoon plenty of that creamy, sweet-spicy sauce over the top.
- Optional tweak: You can wrap each fillet in cucumber slices before steaming for an extra fancy touch, but honestly, itβs amazing even without it.
Tips:
- Make sure the curry simmers slowly; too high heat will separate the coconut milk.
- Taste before serving; adjust fish sauce or sweet chili sauce for saltiness/sweetness.
- You can use other white fish if Cape Hake isnβt available.
- Mushrooms are flexible; any kind works.
