Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jasmine Rice

    In a pot, combine jasmine rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add minced lemongrass, onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Add sliced bell peppers and carrots to the pan. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Curry Sauce

    Stir in the yellow curry powder and cook for 1 minute. Then add light coconut milk, mixing well. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the yellow curry over jasmine rice. Adjust spice level (1-5) based on preference.
