Base Ingredients

Protein (optional)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prep the Protein

    If using chicken, slice it into thin strips. If using tofu, cut it into cubes and pat dry.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Protein

    In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken or tofu and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the Curry Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the red curry paste. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, and add brown sugar. Stir well to combine.

  3. 5

    Add the Vegetables

    Add the prepared vegetables to the curry sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked chicken or tofu to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your red curry!
