Coconut based Thai curries are a masterclass in balancing powerful flavors with finesse. Spicy jalapeño and ginger blend with bright lemongrass and lime juice, while a little sweetness from the brown sugar and coconut milk keeps the spice from getting out of hand and a salty, umami punch of soy sauce helps blend everything together. We chose chicken thighs for this recipe because the low and slow cooking lends itself to the juicier texture of the meat. You can definitely substitute chicken breast if you prefer. Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro, sriracha, and a fresh squeeze of lime.

Note: This recipe requires Suvie 2.0 and the Suvie Starch Cooker. To make this meal in Suvie 1.0, please set rice to cook for 15 minutes in Step 3.

6) Adjust seasoning to taste. Fluff rice with a fork. Serve the coconut curry over the jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime.

Wine Pairing

The spicy and sweet notes in Gewürztraminer make it an ideal pairing for the fragrant aromas of Thai Green Curry. Another wine that will pair well with this dish is Riesling. Riesling is sweet and acidic and will really bring out the spicy flavors of this dish.

What are the slow cook settings?

How do you turn off the top part since I’m not cooking anything there? Very frustrating!

Hi Misty, when broiling, roasting, or baking you can just set the time to 0 minutes. For Sous Vide and slow cook, these modes heat both zones, so there is no way to shut it off.
