Delicious Vegetable Thai Red Curry Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup Thai red curry paste
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 cup bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup carrot, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup basil leaves, fresh
  • 1 cup tofu, cubed (optional protein addition)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

    Use a mix of colorful vegetables for a vibrant curry.
  2. Cook the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.

    Do not let the garlic burn; it should be golden brown.
  3. Add the Curry Paste

    Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to release its flavors.

    Adjust the amount of paste to control the spice level.
  4. Pour in the Coconut Milk

    Add the coconut milk to the skillet, mixing well with the curry paste.

    Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture.
  5. Incorporate the Vegetables

    Add the chopped vegetables and tofu to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

    Cover the skillet to help cook the vegetables evenly.
  6. Season the Curry

    Stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Adjust seasoning to taste.

    Add more lime juice for extra tanginess.
  7. Finish with Fresh Basil

    Remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves just before serving.

    Serve hot with jasmine rice for a complete meal.
