Coconut Curry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place mirin, lemongrass and ginger in heavy medium saucepan. Boil until reduced to 1/4 cups, about 6 minutes.
• Add wine and boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 6 minutes.
• Add cream and coconut milk; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer sauce until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes.
• Stir in curry paste. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before serving.).

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms, ginger and shallots until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the red curry paste and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the coconut milk, and then add the cabbage, carrots and tofu and cook 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey, scallions, lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly, and then toss over the noodles.

Steps:

Put 2 tablespoons oil in the pan, add the asparagus and cauliflower, and saute for 2 minutes.
