Food Recipes Fresh Green Curry Sauce Be the first to rate & review! On Jean-Georges Vongerichten's most recent trip to Bangkok, he ate at a small restaurant where the waitress set out bowls of curry sauces alongside platters of cut-up raw vegetables, herbs and rice noodles. (You could also serve chicken or fish.) Customers assembled their own meals. At home, Vongerichten now offers several curries at the same time because he likes the balance of sweet, spicy and herbal flavors.

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, chicken stock and the spice paste and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Season with salt. Suggested Pairing Beer Wine is a tough match for these spicy curries, but cold beer is ideal. Lager beers tend to be light in color, brisk and moderately hoppy (the floral-bitter character imparted to beer from the flowers of the hop vine, used in brewing).
