Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (sugar-free)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Full-fat coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce (or tamari for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the Thai red curry paste to the saucepan and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring to combine and allow the spices to bloom.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring until the curry paste is fully incorporated.
Add lime juice, fish sauce (or tamari for a vegan option), ground turmeric, ground coriander, and sea salt. Stir well.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or salt based on your preference.
Serve the sauce immediately over your choice of protein or vegetables, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and enjoy!
