- 3 tablespoons red curry paste
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 200 milliliters vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
Add the vegan chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the red curry paste. Stir it around for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Slowly pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to mix with the curry paste. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in the soy sauce, maple syrup, and lime juice.
Add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, zucchini, and bamboo shoots to the pan. Let them cook in the curry sauce for about 8-10 minutes or until they are just tender.
Return the vegan chicken pieces to the pan, stirring to combine with the vegetables and sauce. Let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more soy sauce or lime juice to your preference.
Stir in the fresh basil leaves just before serving.
Serve the vegan red curry hot over a bed of jasmine rice.
