Thai Red Curry with Spring Vegetables

This is a favorite quick meal recipe. The curry sauce is robust, creamy, and delicious. You can use any vegetables you like, but I’d recommend using what’s in your box! This can be served over rice, quinoa, chow mein noodles, or as a stew with bread!

Ingredients:

Sauce:

  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Vegetables:

  • 1/2 bunch chopped scallions or ramps
  • 1 pound diced potatoes or sweet potatoes, some chopped carrots, diced turnips (however many you have), chopped bok choi leaves and stems, any or all of some greens: turnip greens, spinach, greens mix
  • cooking oil

Steps:

1. In a large sauce pan, heat a small amount of oil and add your chopped onions. Allow them to sauté until tender. Add the chopped bok choi stems and cook another minute longer. Add the diced potatoes, carrots and turnips and continue to cook and stir for 5 minutes.

2. Next, add the can of coconut milk and bring to a slight boil. Add the curry paste and stir vigorously with a fork or whisk to allow the paste to melt into the coconut milk. Stir in the vegetable broth and fish sauce. Place a lid on the saucepan and allow to simmer until the potatoes are soft and the sauce has thickened. If you’d like it thicker, add a little cornstarch mixed with water.

3. After the potatoes are soft and thoroughly cooked, add the bok choi leaves and stir in gently until they are wilted. Let simmer 1 more minute and then turn off the heat. The point is to wilt the leaves but not overcook them.

4. Serve and enjoy!
