Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to blend.
Pour in the lite coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine everything.
Add the julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice, adjusting to taste if necessary.
