VEGAN THAI CURRY VEGETABLES
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.

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.

THAI-INSPIRED COCONUT CURRY SOUP WITH VEGETABLES
There are dozens of types of curries in Thailand, but most can be categorized as red, green or yellow; this is a streamlined vegetarian version of a red curry, named after the color of chile found in the curry paste. This one is spicy, sweet, creamy and adaptable. When the red curry paste is cooked in oil, the blend of chiles and aromatics like galangal and lemongrass come alive and become the curry's backbone. Because store-bought pastes vary in intensity, this recipe also uses fresh garlic and ginger to ensure a zingy final result. Use any vegetables you like, but it's nice to have one hearty vegetable (like sweet potato) and one crisp one (like snow peas) for a mix of textures. If you find your curry too spicy, stir in a bit of brown sugar. If it's feeling a bit flat, squeeze in a little lime juice or add a dash of soy or fish sauce.

THAI RED CURRY NOODLES WITH VEGETABLES
Think of this dish as red curry noodles, version 2.0. By doctoring up jarred red curry paste with fresh chile, garlic, ginger, lemongrass and spices, this dish gets a much more complex, intense flavor than the usual version. Once you have all the ingredients at the ready, the dish comes together quickly. And you'll have enough leftover curry paste to make this again, even faster the next time. Omit the fish sauce (use soy instead) and egg to make this a vegan dish.

Steps:
- Prepare the curry paste: In a blender or mini food processor, combine cilantro, garlic, shallot, chile, red curry, coconut oil, ginger, lemongrass, zest and juice of 1 lime, fish sauce, curry powder, cumin and coriander. Blend into a paste, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. If mixture is too thick to blend, add teaspoon or two of water as needed.
- In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms, half the scallions, garlic, chile and a large pinch of salt. Sauté until golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Stir 1/4 cup curry paste mixture into skillet and cook until fragrant and darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir coconut milk into skillet along with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce, and juice of 1/2 lime.
- Add red pepper, snow peas and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in bok choy and cook until wilted, 2 to 4 minutes longer.
- Fold in noodles, tossing until coated with sauce and heated through. Add fish sauce or lime juice to taste, and pass lime wedges at the table. Top with remaining scallions and any of the optional garnishes. Serve with lime wedges on the side. Store the extra curry paste in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
STIR-FRY PRAWNS / SHRIMPS WITH VEGETABLES AND FRESH THAI NOODLES
This recipe started off as a chicken salad but I wanted something warmer and I had raw green prawns at home so it ended off as a stir-fry. For the noodles I used Fresh Thai Noodles which are yellow in colour and flat, I purchase them in the fridge section of the supermarket. I ate the stir-fry the next day for lunch and the flavours really enhanced. Enjoy

Steps:
- Line a wok or large frying pan with a double layer of aluminum foil.
- Cut one eggplant in half lengthwise and then each half into thirds.
- Place wok or frying pan over high heat. Add onion, garlic, Thai chile peppers, jalapeno halves, and eggplant pieces. Cook, tossing and stirring until vegetables are lightly charred, but not burned, and they release their aroma, about 5 minutes. Continue to stir and cook until the vegetables are very aromatic and just soft enough to pound easily in a mortar, about 15 minutes. Remove vegetables from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Remove and discard foil from wok or frying pan and return pan to heat; add shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly and cut into small pieces using a sharp knife.
- Combine cooked vegetables and shrimp in a mortar and pound with pestle until mixture comes together and pieces are the size of grains of rice. Alternatively, this can be done by chopping with a sharp knife on a cutting board. To this mixture, add chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1/2 tablespoon lime juice, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, and sugar, and toss well to combine. The nam prik may be made several hours or up to a full day before using; keep it refrigerated in an airtight container. Let it come to room temperature before using.
- In a small bowl, mix together remaining tablespoon fish sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce. Set mixture aside.
- Slice remaining 3 eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Slice frying peppers down the center lengthwise, removing core and seeds.
- Spray a grill pan with cooking spray and set over medium heat, or heat a grill to medium hot. Brush eggplant, frying peppers, baby bok choy, and scallions with soy-sauce mixture and arrange as many pieces as will fit, without crowding, on the hot grill. Cook vegetables in two or three batches until they are soft, fragrant, and slightly brown. The grilling time will vary: Grill bok choy about 8 minutes, peppers 8 minutes, eggplant 4 minutes, and scallions 3 minutes. Transfer vegetables from the grill to a large serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Brush grill with a grill brush and, if using a grill pan, spray with cooking spray. Brush fish fillets with remaining soy mixture and arrange on grill. Cook until fish is opaque halfway up its side, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until fish has golden grill marks and is cooked through, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer fish to the serving platter with grilled vegetables, garnish with cilantro sprigs, and serve immediately with nam prik.

Steps:
- Blanch cauliflower 4 minutes, or until al dente, in pot of boiling, salted water. Remove with strainer; rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Repeat with green beans in same pot of water; set aside. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until mushrooms have browned and released some of their juices; set aside. In wide saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, curry paste, sugar, tamari, and 1/2 cup water. Start with small amount of curry paste and adjust for spiciness. Add cauliflower, green beans, mushrooms, bell pepper, and half of basil. Simmer 10 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil.
Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will have the best flavor and texture.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the wok or pan. If you overcrowd the wok or pan, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying.
- Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat. This will help them retain their color and texture.
- Add the sauce last. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the vegetables immediately. Stir-fried vegetables are best served hot.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried vegetables are a quick, easy, and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They can be made with a variety of vegetables, so you can easily customize them to your liking. And best of all, they're delicious!
