Quick Yellow Thai Vegetable Curry (Vegan, Gluten-Free and Coconut-Free)

October 10, 2014 by theleafycauldron

Thai isn’t a cuisine that is easily accessible to my allergy-addled husband. Being allergic to coconut really knocks a lot of that out – never mind all the peanuts and cilantro. After his allergy to sesame worsened, we have had to seek out new avenues for our stir fry needs. Enter thai curry paste! This stir fry was ready in less than a half an hour, so you could put on a pot of jasmine rice and be ready to go at the same time. It’s quick, full of fresh vegetables and really super extra easy.

Quick Yellow Thai Vegetable Curry
Serves 4

1 tablespoon canola oil, or other neutral oil
2 teaspoons yellow thai curry paste, or more to taste
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into thick strips
1 large yellow onion, peeled and sliced thin
1 small zucchini, cut into thick strips
8 oz. button mushrooms, halved
2 celery stalks, cut on a bias
Half a bell pepper, any colour, chopped
1 head of broccoli florets
1/2 cup baby corn
1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 inch ginger, peeled and chopped finely
1/4 cup white wine (or vegetable stock)
Juice of half a lime
Pinch of salt

Heat the canola oil in a large skillet and mix in the curry paste. Add the vegetables and sautee for several minutes. Add the wine (or stock), the lime juice and salt. Sautee the vegetables until they are tendercrisp. Taste for seasoning and add more curry paste, a little at a time, until you’re satisfied. Top with quick pan fried tofu, if desired.

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
