Descriptions
Creamy. Bold. Wholesome.
This Coconut Curry Veggie Stir-Fry brings together the richness of coconut milk and the warmth of curry spices with a rainbow of fresh vegetables. Think tender broccoli, crunchy bell peppers, and sweet carrots—all perfectly coated in a creamy curry sauce. It’s fast, customizable, and comforting. Serve over jasmine rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal that’s both nourishing and crave-worthy.
Directions
Step 1
Prep Your Veggies: Chop a mix of veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas, and onions.
Step 2
Sauté Aromatics: Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Step 3
Add Veggies & Curry Paste: Add the vegetables and sauté for 5–7 minutes until just tender. Stir in red curry paste and cook for 1 more minute to deepen the flavor.
Step 4
Simmer with Coconut Milk: Pour in the canned coconut milk along with a splash of soy sauce or tamari. Stir to coat the veggies and let simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Finish & Serve: Squeeze in fresh lime juice and top with chopped cilantro. Serve hot over rice or noodles!

FAQs

Use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free curry paste.
Q: Does this meal prep well?
Absolutely! Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
Q: What’s the best rice to pair it with?
Jasmine rice, basmati, brown rice, or even cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
