Ingredients
- 2teaspoons oil
- 1medium onionI used a sweet onion.
- 1teaspoon freshly grated gingeradjust quantity for preference. It is a very healthy addition!
- 2cloves fresh garlic
- 3medium sweet peppersI used one orange, one red, and one yellow.
- 1cup sliced sugar snap peas
- 3medium carrotssliced thinly
- 2Tablespoons Thai green curry pasteMake sure it a vegan version, without fish oil.
- 1can coconut milkI used a low-fat version but the regular one would be tasty!
- 2teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 2teaspoons tamari or soy sauce
- sesame seedsblack or regular
- dried pepper flakesoptional but adds a bit of heat and flavour!
Instructions
- Prepare your rice, according to instructions on package, so that it is ready when your curry is. It won’t take long to make the curry!
- In a large pan, heat the oil.
- In a food processor, process the onion, garlic and ginger until finely chopped. Add this to the warmed oil and cook until translucent, but not browned. (Browning garlic makes it bitter.)
- Chop your snow peas into approximately one-inch pieces. Carrots should be sliced thinly. Slice your coloured peppers into thin strips, removing seeds.
- Toss your veggies into the the pan and cook for a few minutes until veggies are just tender.
- Add the curry paste, stir and cook for two minutes.
- Add one can of coconut milk, the lime juice, and tamari. Stir and simmer for about 5-10 minutes, until all is hot and flavourful.
- Serve hot over rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and pepper flakes, as desired. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Sprinkle on some black or regular sesame seeds for an extra crunch and nutritional boost! A few crumbled dried cayenne peppers flakes add a little extra bite of heat! I would recommend brown or a wild rice mix as a healthy choice for the base.
