About this recipe (thai red curry)
I learned to prepare this vegan Thai Curry years ago; it is one of the recipes I know by heart. This one vegetarian curry recipe that I can trust will always turn out delicious and healthy and everything you can think of.
What is thai curry paste?
Thai curry is a paste normally made with red chiles, aromatics, and spices. It is delicious and very easy to make. If you prepare your curry paste (affiliate link) at home, start by adding less curry paste (affiliate link) than what the recipe calls for. Add gradually until getting the taste you want.
I use Thai, red, or green curry paste (affiliate link) to make this dish very fast from Simple Asia. Both flavors from this brand are pretty good. And, If you read the label, you will find it very clean. They make their curry paste (affiliate link) with really clean ingredients.
Why I love this vegan Thai curry recipe?
One of the best things about this curry recipe is that you can use any vegetable you have on hand and the rest of the ingredients are pantry staples. And if the store-bought curry paste (affiliate link) and canned coconut milk or coconut cream are not a staple in your pantry… YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM ASAP!
what veggies can I use?
I used carrots, potatoes, and green beans for this recipe, but feel free to use any vegetable you want. I have used cauliflower, peas, broccoli, etc., which always taste delicious.
Use red bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, snap peas, a handful of kale, and sweet potatoes. Make this recipe your own and add your favorite vegetables.
how to make vegan thai curry under 30 minutes
Start by sauteeing the onion, then adding the coconut milk and stirring the curry paste (affiliate link) and the rest of the ingredients on a skillet over medium heat. Let it simmer and taste along the way and adjust as needed. Take this recipe as a guide and make it your own.
Finish it with fresh Thai basil, cilantro, a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, and some slices of chile; you can use jalapeños, serrano, or Thai chilis. If you want to add tofu or other protein, it will still be amazing. I love to add crispy tofu in there.
tips, tricks & other recipes
- When buying canned coconut milk, look for the best you can find with the least ingredients. I like using full fat, but if you want a lighter version use the reduced fat can.
- Using coconut cream or full-fat coconut cream might be a little thick; use vegetable broth to thin it out.
- Also, I love to serve this vegan Thai red curry recipe with brown rice, jasmine rice, rice noodles, or quinoa. I love it when the grain absorbs the liquid and makes it flavorful. So if you feel your Thai curry is a bit liquidy, serve it over rice.
