Vegan Thai Red Curry
A flavorful, rich, and creamy vegan Thai red curry loaded with fresh sautéed vegetables, extra firm tofu, and aromatic Thai basil. It is easy to customize and perfect for a quick, comforting meal. Chef's tips: (1) Blooming the red curry paste in reduced coconut milk until the oil separates is a key step to unlock authentic and deep flavors. (2) Using extra firm tofu prevents it from breaking down or crumbling while simmering in the hot curry. (3) Water quantity can be modified depending on your preference for a thicker or thinner curry gravy. (4) Thai basil is highly recommended over regular sweet basil as it provides a distinct, pungent, anise-like flavor essential to Thai curries.
