About

Green vegetable curry has been the only thing I’ve ordered at Thai restaurants for years. At home, I purchase premade vegan and gluten-free green curry paste to recreate the dish in my own kitchen. If you have access to some of the more exotic ingredients the fiery paste ordinarily contains, feel free to make you own.

Ingredients

For the Green Coconut Curry

1 tablespoon coconut oil
3–4 tablespoons green curry paste (vegan, gluten-free)

Method

Make the Green Coconut Curry

In a large pot or wok, heat oil over medium heat. Add curry paste, stirring until fragrance releases (about 30 seconds). Stir in coconut milk, lime juice, and salt; bring to a boil. Mix in tofu, bok choy or broccoli, and pepper. Return to a boil, reduce to medium, cover, and cook, stirring halfway through, for 10–15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-
