Ingredients

  • 4 cups jasmine rice or brown rice
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp freshly ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into thin strips
  • 3 carrots peeled & sliced
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1/2 head cauliflower chopped
  • 1 14 oz can coconut milk
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 lime juiced
  • cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Sriracha sauce (optional, for extra spice)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra spice)

Instructions

  • Cook 4 cups of rice, according to the package's instructions. Once done, set aside for serving with the curry.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, deep-sided skillet over medium high heat. Add the carrots, bell pepper, ginger, and garlic to the pan, stirring occasionally. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 - 7 minutes.
  • Add 2 tbsp red curry paste to the skillet and stir to coat the vegetables. Turn down the heat to medium low and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and cauliflower, stir to combine. Add 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup of water, enough so that the contents of the skillet are almost completely covered by the liquid.
  • Bring the skillet to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is cooked to your desired softness.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Optionally: garnish with cilantro and serve with Sriracha or red pepper flakes for extra spice.
