Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the Thai red curry paste to the vegetables and stir for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir to combine the paste with the liquid.
Add the soy sauce and brown sugar. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or brown sugar for sweetness.
Remove the curry from heat and stir in the lime juice and half of the basil leaves.
Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with the remaining fresh basil leaves.
