Green curry
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp white pepper
- 1 tbsp vegan oyster sauce
- 1 block tofu, pressed
- 5 kaffir lime leaves
- 200g curry paste
- 600ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp vegan fish sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 250ml vegan chicken stock
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 150g green beans
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 cup thai basil
- Rice
Steps
- Prepare marinade by whisking cornstarch, oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon water, and white pepper in a bowl.
- Cut the tofu into slices and coat the slices in the marinade.
- Heat a pan and add oil. Pan-fry the tofu in a single layer until golden brown, then transfer to a plate.
- For the curry, fry the lime leaves in hot oil in the wok for a minute. Keep stirring and don’t let them burn.
- Add the curry paste, stirring briskly until it starts to split into oil and smells fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add half the coconut milk and keep stirring to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
- Reduce the sauce by a third. Add fish sauce, sugar, the remaining coconut milk and the stock, and bring to a boil.
- Add the tofu to the wok and lower to a simmer. Add the carrots and beans and cook for a few minutes.
- Add the bell pepper and broccoli and cook until tender then turn off the heat.
- Add thai basil leaves.
