1
Heat the vegetable oil or coconut oil in a dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the green curry paste and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute. Stir in the lemongrass paste and cook for an additional minute.
4
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it. Stir in the coconut milk until well combined. Add the fish sauce and white sugar, stirring to incorporate.
5
Add the drained and rinsed butter beans to the curry mixture. Stir in the chopped green beans and diced bell pepper.
6
Bring the curry to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
7
Stir in the lime juice and kosher salt, adjusting to taste. Toss in the chopped basil leaves, reserving some for garnish.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom Your Curry Paste 🌶️Toast the Thai green curry paste in oil for 1-2 minutes before adding liquid to unlock its deep, complex flavors and reduce any raw taste.
- Coconut Milk Technique 🥥Use the thick cream from the top of full-fat coconut milk to start your curry, then whisk in the thinner liquid gradually to create a silky, balanced sauce.
- Fish Sauce Adjustment ⚖️Add fish sauce incrementally and taste as you go—start with half the recommended amount, as it's potent and easier to add than remove for a perfectly balanced umami depth.
- Fresh Herb Timing 🌿Reserve your fresh basil and cilantro to stir in during the final 30 seconds of cooking to preserve their vibrant flavors and aromatic oils from being cooked away.
- Bean Texture Control 🫘Add green beans in the last 5-7 minutes and butter beans in the last 3-4 minutes so they stay tender-crisp and don't become mushy in the simmering curry.
