Method
- Heat the oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add the curry paste and fry for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add half the coconut milk and stir until the paste dissolves and the oil starts to separate. Add the rest of the coconut milk, stock, soy sauce, sugar and lime leaves.
- Add the aubergine and tofu, simmer for 8 minutes. Add the green beans, pepper and baby corn and simmer for 5 minutes more until the veg is just tender.
- Take off the heat, stir in the lime juice and herbs. Taste — add more soy for salt, sugar for balance, or lime for brightness. Serve over jasmine rice.
💡 VeggieTip notes
- Paste brands vary a lot in heat — start with 3 tbsp and add more.
- Any veg works: courgette, mushrooms, broccoli, pak choi, mangetout.
- Fry the tofu first for a firmer, golden texture.
