Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Lite coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Red curry paste
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until fully dissolved to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of vegetable broth (about 2 tablespoons) over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release its flavors.
Pour in the lite coconut milk and the remaining vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the lime juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice or soy sauce if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite vegetables, tofu, shrimp, or chicken.
