Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk, unsweetened
- 1 block (12 ounces) silken tofu (for protein)
- 2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste (vegan-friendly)
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger, fresh and peeled
- 1 small green chili (optional, for extra heat)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the silken tofu of any excess water and set aside.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the silken tofu, coconut milk, Thai green curry paste, vegetable broth, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Blend until smooth.
Step 3
Add the fresh basil, cilantro, garlic cloves, ginger, and green chili (if using). Blend again until fully incorporated and the sauce becomes creamy and aromatic.
Step 4
Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to bring out the flavors. Do not let it boil.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed; you can add more lime juice for tanginess, soy sauce for saltiness, or a pinch of sugar to balance flavors.
Step 6
Serve immediately over rice, noodles, or as a dipping sauce for vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
