Vegan red curry is my go-to Thai meal when I’m craving some heat. You can practically see how spicy it is in the vibrant red color of the sauce. Traditional red curry may not be vegan, so be careful if you order it in a restaurant. Many versions of red curry (and basically all Thai curries for that matter) are made with non-vegan ingredients like fish sauce and shrimp paste. So today I’m sharing my very own, very delicious vegan Thai red curry recipe. It tastes as delicious as what you’d get in a restaurant, but is guaranteed 100% free of animal products, as long as you follow the recipe and my guidance in this post. Read on to learn how it’s made! Tip: Make sure you uncover the pot and give it a stir every so often, scraping the bottom of the pot with your spoon. Otherwise the sauce might burn. Remove the pot from heat and stir in lime juice, brown sugar, and salt to taste. Add the basil and stir until it wilts. Stir in the tofu and simmer a minute longer, just to get it hot. Tip: Different brands of red curry paste will vary in the ingredients they use, so you may need to make adjustments to the seasonings in your curry based on the flavor profile of the paste you use. This could mean adding more lime juice, brown sugar, or salt. Your curry is ready to enjoy! Serve it with some rice. Like this recipe?
