Delicious Coconut Curry Sauce Recipe for Main Courses

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (fresh, grated)
  • 1 tablespoon coriander (fresh, chopped for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté Aromatics

    In a medium saucepan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant.

    Do not let the garlic burn; reduce heat if necessary.
  2. Add Curry Paste

    Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it's well combined with the aromatics.

    Adjust the amount of curry paste based on your spice preference.
  3. Incorporate Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk, stirring continuously to blend with the curry mixture.

    For a creamier sauce, use full-fat coconut milk.
  4. Season the Sauce

    Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander if desired. Serve over your choice of protein or vegetables.

    This sauce pairs well with rice or noodles.
