- 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 14-ounce can coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves

Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the diced red onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli florets, and sliced carrots to the pan and stir-fry for 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
Add the Thai red curry paste to the pan, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for 2 more minutes to enhance the paste's flavors.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, then add the soy sauce, lime juice, and maple syrup. Stir everything well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Allow it to cook gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the basil leaves and let the curry simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the curry from heat and serve over cooked jasmine rice, garnished with additional basil if desired.
