Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Red curry paste (check for low-carb, sugar-free brand)
- 2 teaspoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Powdered erythritol or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the avocado oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release its flavors.
Lower the heat slightly and pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine with the curry paste.
Add the fish sauce, lime juice, powdered erythritol (or sweetener), and soy sauce (or tamari) to the saucepan. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients.
Simmer the sauce gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more lime juice for tanginess, fish sauce for saltiness, or sweetener to balance the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
If using, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy this low-carb Thai curry sauce over your favorite low-carb dishes like zoodles, cauliflower rice, or grilled protein.
