VEGAN THAI CURRY VEGETABLES



Vegan Thai Curry Vegetables image

Drew Spangler Faulkner, a cooking teacher at L'Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda, Md., makes a Thai green curry that is a kind of comfort food. The sauce, made creamy with coconut milk, and gently spicy with the curry paste, is flavorful yet soothing. The vegetables, which are simply dropped into the sauce, and gently simmered for about 12 minutes, turn out tender, not soggy. It is startlingly simple. She makes her own green curry paste, but the recipe calls for any one of three store bought pastes. Although some green curry pastes contain fish or shrimp paste, she has found three brands which do not: Thai Taste, Maesri and Thai Kitchen.

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk (do not shake can)
1/2 cup vegetable stock
4 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari soy sauce
4 teaspoons palm sugar or brown sugar
6 tablespoons Thai green curry paste, like Thai Taste, Maesri, and Thai Kitchen, none of which have shrimp or fish paste
1/2 cup diced (1/2 inch) onion
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) red bell pepper
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) zucchini or other summer squash
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) peeled sweet potato
2/3 cup sliced bamboo shoots, rinsed and drained
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) Asian eggplant
1 lime
8 large basil leaves, cut into thin chiffonade

Steps:

  • Open the can of coconut milk without shaking it. Spoon 6 tablespoons of the coconut cream from the top of the can into a medium saucepan. Pour remaining contents of can into a medium bowl, and mix well. In a medium bowl, combine vegetable stock, soy sauce, and palm or brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Place saucepan of coconut cream over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble. Add curry paste and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir constantly until very fragrant, about 3 minutes; adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. Add onion, red pepper, zucchini, sweet potato, bamboo shoots, green beans, and eggplant. Stir until vegetables are hot, 2-3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the soy sauce mixture and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice to taste; you may use the juice of an entire lime. Stir and mix well. Add up to 1/4 cup water if the curry seems too thick.
  • To serve, place the curry in a warm serving bowl and garnish with the basil chiffonade. If desired, serve over jasmine rice.

Tips for Making the Best Thai Coconut Vegetable Curry

  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your curry the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh vegetables, you can use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them before cooking.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices. The amount of curry paste and other spices you use will depend on your personal preferences. If you like a mild curry, start with a small amount of curry paste and add more to taste. If you like a spicy curry, add more curry paste and other spices as desired.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk. Full-fat coconut milk will give your curry a rich, creamy texture. If you use light coconut milk, your curry will be thinner and less flavorful.
  • Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. If you're short on time, you can simmer the curry for a shorter amount of time, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Serve the curry with rice or noodles. Curry is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with roti, a type of Indian flatbread.

Conclusion

Thai coconut vegetable curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a good way to use up leftover vegetables. With its creamy texture, fragrant spices, and fresh vegetables, this curry is sure to please everyone at the table.
