Thai Inspired Vegan Coconut Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu and fry on all sides until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
• While tofu is frying, heat remaining oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Saute onion until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in curry paste. Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth; bring to a boil. Add potatoes, reduce heat, and simmer, covering the pot loosely, until potatoes are halfway cooked, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in beans and continue to simmer until potatoes are almost soft, about 5 minutes more. Stir in tofu and heat through, about 5 minutes. Serve in individual bowls.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and clove and cook, stirring, until the whole spices are toasted, about 20 seconds.
• Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until the ground spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
• Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and the coconut milk. Add the potatoes, eggplant, cauliflower and serrano; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Add the green beans and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 5 minutes. Thin the curry with water, if necessary. Discard the serrano and season with salt. Serve with rice and top with cilantro.

Steps:

• For the rice: Combine the water and rice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, adjust to a low simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender, and all the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered. (Tip: don't stir the rice while it's cooking.)
• For the curry: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pepper, zucchini, eggplant and onion and cook, stirring, until crisp tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine the tomatoes, garam masala, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, cayenne, garlic and ginger in a medium pot, bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Careful of splashing, pour in coconut milk and add the coconut oil, turn off heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Puree with hand stick blender (or in batches in a blender) until smooth.
• Add the cooked vegetables to the curry sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Toast or grill the naan or pita bread until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Cut into pieces.
• For serving: Fill bowls with some rice and then top with some curry. Sprinkle with scallion and serve with a piece of naan or pita bread.

Steps:

• Melt the margarine in a large heavy bottomed pan.
• Add the onion, garlic, lemongrass, chili, curry powder and ginger and cook,stirring over a low heat for 5 minutes.
• Add the pumpkin and rice and cook for 1 minute more.
• Pour in the wine and a ladle full of stock and cook, stirring, until the liquid is absorbed.
• Keep adding the stock, a ladle full at a time, stirring continuously, until the rice is tender, but al dente, about 25 minutes.
• Towards the end of cooking, add the stock in smaller quantities and check frequently to see if the rice is cooked.
• Add the coconut milk, mint, and coriander.
• Remove from the heat, season and sprinkle with grated coconut to serve.

Steps:

• First, we get the crepes started.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flours and the salt. Add the oil and water and mix together.
• Pour this into the blender and blend until thoroughly combined. Let the batter sit for at least 20 minutes.
• While the batter is sitting, we make the filling.
• In a sauce pan, bring the coconut milk to a boil. Let it do its thing until it smells very coconutty, about 3 minutes.
• Add the curry paste and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the water, butternut squash, basil, salt, and sugar and bring back to a boil. Turn down to a gentle boil and cook for 10 minutes.
• Add the red pepper and cook for 10 minutes more. The squash should be a bit mushy at this point. The curry will have turned golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Back to the crepes!
• Heat a 6-7 inch crepe pan (a small nonstick pan is perfect for this) over medium heat and oil with a paper towel dipped in olive oil.
• Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat pan. Cook until large bubbles begin to rise in the middle (less than a minute). Use a spatula to ease the crepe off the pan, flip, and cook for about 30 seconds more. Flip onto a plate.
• Oil the pan and repeat until the batter is gone (makes 12+ crepes for us). You'll get the hang of it.
• Onto the sauce:.
• Combine the sauce ingredients in a pot over high heat. Whisk together with a fork or whisk until just warmed.
• Now, fill the crepes with 2-3 spoonfuls of the filling. Sprinkle on coconut flakes and roll up the crepe. Get 2-3 on a plate, then spoon 2-3 tablespoons of sauce over them. Sprinkle on crushed peanuts and coconut flakes. Arrange the basil leaves and hearts however you desire.
• Voila! Butternut squash Thai curry crepes with coconut-ginger-peanut sauce. Enjoy!
