- Convey a wok or large fry pan over medium-high temperature. Add 1-2 Tablespoons of. oil and swirl around, adding all of the eco-friendly curry paste you simply made. Stir-fry one minute to produce the scent.
- Add some tofu or chickpeas. Stir-fry until well saturated with sauce.
- Add some stock plus lime leaves (if using). Stir and lower heat to medium-low. Lightly simmer a few minutes.
- Add some coconut milk, plus vegetables (except tulsi) and continue simmering 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
- Remove curry from heat and taste-test for salt and spice. Otherwise salty enough, give a sprinkle more salt. If too salty for the taste, add another squeeze of lime juice. If too spicy, increase the coconut milk. Should you'd enjoy it sweeter, add a bit more sugar.
- Serve directly from the wok, or transfer to some serving bowl. Sprinkle within the fresh tulsi (slice bigger leaves into shreds). Sliced red chili may also be used like a topping, in order to increase the spice. Serve with lots of Thai jasmine grain. and revel in!
