Red Thai Curry, is a one pot wonder that comes together in just 15 minutes. It would be a perfect weeknight meal when you don’t have a lot of time but still want to make dinner. Red thai curry is filled with veggies & protein (tofu), makes for a nutrient dish. I serve with white or brown rice to make red curry a complete meal! It’s so flavorful, even my 3 year old loves it!!
As a busy mom of two toddlers, I use all the shortcuts I can. I buy frozen stir fry vegetable bags from Trader Joe’s. It makes my life so much easier. I sometimes even but the frozen pre cut peppers, there ain’t no shame in my game! Anything to make life a bit easier. IF you have any leftovers I like to turn the red curry into soup and add a bunch of toppings on top. I thin it out with some broth, add extra sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and top it with sliced jalapeno, chili onion crunch, lots of cilantro, sometimes I even add cooked brown rice noodles to it. It’s so delicious!!
Here is some recipes that are great week & quick weeknight meals: Instant Pot Taco Soup, Four Bean Chipotle Chili, Chili Paneer, Schezwan Vegetable Frankie. If you try this recipe don’t forget to tag me @zheelicious, I would love to see your wonderful creations.
Stay happy, stay hungry!
