About this recipe (Thai red curry)

Yes, you read the title right; with this easy vegan Thai curry, you can have a healthy, fast, and delicious dinner in under 30 minutes. It is as easy as putting all your vegetables in a skillet, the curry paste, and other ingredients. It is magical!

I learned to prepare this vegan Thai Curry years ago; it is one of the recipes I know by heart. This one vegetarian curry recipe that I can trust will always turn out delicious and healthy and everything you can think of.

What is Thai curry paste?

Thai curry is a paste normally made with red chiles, aromatics, and spices. It is delicious and very easy to make. If you prepare your curry paste at home, add less than the recipe calls for. Add gradually until you get the taste you want.

I quickly make this dish using Thai, red, or green curry paste from Simple Asia. Both flavors are pretty good. If you read the label, you will find it very clean. They make their curry paste with really clean ingredients.

Why do I love this vegan Thai curry recipe?

One of the best things about this curry recipe is that you can use any vegetable you have on hand; the rest are pantry staples. And if the store-bought curry paste and canned coconut milk or coconut cream are not a staple in your pantry… YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM ASAP!

what veggies can I use?

This recipe used carrots, potatoes, and green beans, but feel free to use any vegetable you want. I have also used cauliflower, peas, broccoli, etc., which always tastes delicious.

Use red bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, snap peas, a handful of kale, and sweet potatoes. Make this recipe your own, and add your favorite vegetables.

how to make vegan Thai curry under 30 minutes

Start by sauteeing the onion, then adding the coconut milk and stirring the curry paste and the rest of the ingredients on a skillet over medium heat. Let it simmer and taste along the way and adjust as needed. Take this recipe as a guide and make it your own.

Finish it with fresh Thai basil, cilantro, a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, and some slices of chile; you can use jalapeños, serrano, or Thai chilis. It will still be amazing if you want to add tofu or other protein. I would love to add crispy tofu to it.

tips, tricks & other recipes

  • When buying canned coconut milk, look for the best you can find with the fewest ingredients. I like using full-fat, but if you want a lighter version, use the reduced-fat can.
  • Using coconut cream or full-fat coconut cream might be a little thick; use vegetable broth to thin it out.
  • Also, I love to serve this vegan Thai red curry recipe with brown rice, jasmine rice, rice noodles, or quinoa. I love it when the grain absorbs the liquid and makes it flavorful. So if you feel your Thai curry is a bit liquidy, serve it over rice.
