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.
