Cambodian Style Fish Curry

Cambodian Style Fish Curry

The flavour of this quick and easy curry is phenomenal! If you don’t like white fish, you can substitute with salmon, chicken thighs, prawns or more of your fave veggies.
It’s a winner and very mild for the kiddies, too!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 bunches bok choy washed and roughly chopped
  • 100 g snow peas trimmed
  • 4 cloves garlic whole
  • 1 red onion medium, roughly chopped
  • 5 cm ginger piece peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3 lemongrass stalks outer layer peeled and finely sliced
  • 5 cm fresh turmeric piece peeled and roughly chopped (2 teaspoons ground turmeric is also fine)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 600 ml canned coconut milk
  • 6 kaffir lime leaves
  • 600 g white fish firm, cut into 3 cm pieces (I use rockling)
  • 1 lime large, juice squeezed
  • cooked rice to serve

Instructions
 

  • Place the bok choy and snow peas in a microwave safe bowl with some water in the bottom. Cook in the microwave for 2 minutes. Remove, drain and set aside. (You can also blanch them in a pot of boiling water if you’d prefer not to use the microwave.)
  • In a blender or food processor, place the garlic, onion, ginger, lemongrass, turmeric, fish sauce and brown sugar and blend together. Add the coconut milk to the blender and process until well combined.
  • Transfer the curry paste to a heavy based saucepan or frying pan over medium heat. Grab the kaffir lime leaves and crush them in your hands to release their flavour. Add them to the pan. Bring the mix to the boil, while stirring occasionally, then turn down to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to develop the flavours.
  • Add the fish to the pan and stir to fully immerse in the liquid. Poach the fish for about 6–8 minutes (depending on the thickness). In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the snow peas and bok choy and stir everything together.
  • Give a good squeeze of lime juice to the pan. Serve on a bed of rice.
