To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

The Small Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons green curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1  makrut lime leaf, crushed in half
  • 1 pinch  teaspoon  chili flakes
  • 1 cup (250ml) coconut milk
  • 2  teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 5 Thai basil leaves, thinly sliced, optional

Preparation

  1. Place the oil, shallots, garlic, curry paste, makrut lime leaf, and chili flakes into the Anyday dish and mix well. Cover with lid (knob lifted) and cook in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until the curry paste is hot and strongly aromatic.
  2. Add the coconut milk, cornstarch, sugar, and fish sauce and stir well. Continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.
  3. Remove the lime leaf, add the basil leaves, and blend with an immersion blender (or regular blender) until the texture is as smooth or chunky as you like. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Allow the sauce to cool and use as desired.

Suggestions

  • Use this recipe with either yellow or red Thai curry paste instead of green.
  • If you cannot find markut limes, add the juice of a fresh lime after cooking.
  • Add bamboo shoots, baby corn, and spinach for a vegetarian meal.
  • For a vegan sauce, swap the fish sauce for soy sauce (or tamari) or simply omit it.

Recipe Notes

  • Allow sauce to cool, about 10-15 minutes. Portion sauce evenly into the Anytime Freezer Trays, cover with the lid, and freeze.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
