Process

Heat a deep skillet on medium-high heat, then add in 3-4 tbsps of coconut milk. When the milk starts to bubble, add the curry paste, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and cilantro stems. Fry for 3 mins, stirring gently, deglazing with a bit more coconut milk if needed.
Add the rest of the coconut milk, basil, cilantro leaves, soy sauce, and coconut sugar. Mix the curry well, and then blend with immersion blender until green and vibrant. Cook on medium-high heat until it reaches a boil, then cook for 4-5 minutes until it thickens.
Serve with udon noodles, garnished with basil.
