Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Aromatics

    Finely dice the red onion and mince the garlic cloves. Bruise the lemongrass stalk with the back of a knife to release its flavor, then chop it into 1-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Zest the Lemon

    Using a microplane or zester, remove the zest from the lemon, being careful to avoid the white pith.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chopped lemongrass, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add the Curry Base

    Stir in the Korean curry powder and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices. Then, add in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 6

    Finish with Seasoning

    Add the lemon zest, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
