Vegan Red Curry - Vegan recipe hero image

I first fell in love with red curry during a trip to Thailand years ago.

The vibrant colors and rich flavors captivated my senses, and I knew I had to recreate that magic in my own kitchen.

This vegan version is my go-to comfort food, especially when I'm in need of a little warmth and nourishment.

A tip: don’t rush the sautéing; let those aromatics shine!

  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Coconut coconut milk adds such a lovely creaminess to this dish; I always go for full-fat for that rich texture. If you’re not a fan of chickpeas, feel free to swap them out for tofu or tempeh! And remember, the red curry paste can vary in heat, so start with less if you prefer a milder flavor.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to double the batch and freeze half for those busy nights when cooking feels like too much effort.
  • If you want to add some protein, consider tossing in some cubed tofu or tempeh during the last few minutes of cooking.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I add a splash of peanut butter for extra creaminess and flavor.
  • For a spicy kick, toss in some chopped chili peppers or a dash of sriracha.

Storage & Freezing

This curry keeps well in the fridge for about 4-5 days in an airtight container. I like to reheat it on the stove, adding a splash of water or coconut coconut milk to loosen it up if it thickens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other vegetables?

Absolutely! This curry is super versatile. You can throw in whatever veggies you have on hand, like broccoli, peas, or even sweet potatoes.
