Warming notes of Thai green curry paste & fresh ginger sing throughout this dish; from the creamy coconut base dotted with plump edamame beans, pak choi, & fragrant pepper strips, to the golden oven-roasted butternut cubes. Finished with toasted cashew nuts for crunch and lime juice for some zestiness.

BEGIN WITH BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
SOME NICE RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
CHOP CHOP
Place the chopped cashews in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
FLAVOURFUL FRYING
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion, the pak choi stems, and the pepper strips until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic, the grated ginger, the curry paste (to taste), and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
COCONUT CREAM
Add the coconut cream and 100ml of water to the pot. Simmer until slightly reduced, 5-6 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, mix in the shredded pak choi leaves, the edamame beans, and the roasted butternut. Remove from the heat and season.
TO THAI FOR
Make a bed of the fluffy rice, and top with the green Thai curry. Garnish with the toasted nuts, and drizzle over the lime juice (to taste). Enjoy.
