Despite the use of Thai Green Curry Paste, this is something I made in Vietnam and it is completely off the charts delicious. Give it a whirl and see!
Oddly, this is a recipe from a cooking class I did whilst in Vietnam recently and I have tweaked it, based on what I had in the fridge already...funnily enough, it tasted absolutely spot on! So...although we are using Thai Green Curry Paste, it is totally legit with the Vietnamese flavours as well. Given the neighborhood, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You will love it too I think. It is very Aussie to mingle our flavours this way and you could certainly do this on the BBQ (yes in the foil pack) for an even smokier more authentic flavour.
We used banana leaves to wrap our parcels, so...if you have them handy? Please don't forget to tag me in any pics you take of this, especially if you banana leaf it!
