Coconut Red Curry Tempeh and Veggies
Does curry count as stir-fry? You bet it does! Coconut Red Curry Tempeh and Veggies takes inspiration from classic Thai curry dishes, but our version is lighter and, most likely, more nutritious. Creamy, light coconut milk is combined with red curry paste and tamarind to create a velvety sweet and slightly spicy cooking sauce that is delightful in this one-wok meal. Red curry paste contains ingredients such as ginger and lemongrass, which have anti-inflammatory, gut-loving, and immune-supporting properties. Toss it with protein- and fiber-packed tempeh plus broccoli (or any veggies you love or would love to use up!) for a meal that is creamy, dreamy, and delicious.
