In a processor or blender blend together add the green curry paste, powdered shiitake mushrooms, green chili, miso paste, and spinach/Thai basil leaves. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, add half of the coconut milk and reduce until the oil separates from the cream.
Add in the customized green curry paste and cook the curry paste in the reduced coconut milked until the oil separates again.
Add in the remaining coconut milk, along with vegetable stock and stir to combine evenly.
Add in the makrut leaves, shiitake and shimeji mushrooms, bamboo shoots, winter melon and tofu. Bring to a boil and boil until winter melon is cooked through, around 5 minutes.
Add in the palm sugar, along with soy sauce or vegan fish sauce (if needed) for seasoning.
Add in the bell peppers, long hot red pepper, and snow peas. Cook for 1 minutes.
Turn off the heat, and add in the fresh basil leaves.
Serve with a side of Jasmin rice and enjoy!
