Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. oil
• 2 tbsp. chopped garlic
• 1 tsp. grated ginger
• 2 tbsp. Aroy-D or Mae Anong Panang Curry Paste
• 2 cans coconut milk (13.5 oz. each)
• 1 tbsp. palm sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1 tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tbsp. lime juice
• 1/4 cup roasted and unsalted cashews
• 1 cup chopped white mushrooms
• 1 cup chopped white/yellow onion
• 4 Thai basil leaves
• 4 oz. cubed extra firm tofu
• 5 broccoli florets
• 1 cup red bellpepper
• 10 snap peas

Preparation

Step 1

In a seasoned wok, heat oil on medium heat.
Once hot, add ginger and garlic and let cook until light brown.

Stir in curry paste.

Whisk in coconut milk, grated palm sugar, soy sauce, and lime juice and turn heat up to medium-high. Add the lime juice little by little until it’s just how you like it.

I used the entire 1 1/2 tbsp. of lime juice.

Add veggies, tofu, and basil leaves and cook until tofu is cooked completely (you can test this by cutting the tofu in half and trying a bite.
Top with crushed cashews and garnish with Thai basil leaves.
