Ingredients

• 13.5 oz Unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 cup Low sodium vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1.5 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (low sodium or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon Coconut sugar or maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional, for heat)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the minced garlic and ginger over low-medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, adding a small splash of the coconut milk to prevent sticking (instead of oil, for low sodium).

Step 2

Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release its flavors.

Step 3

Add the remaining coconut milk, low sodium vegetable broth, and ground turmeric to the saucepan. Stir the mixture until smooth and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Mix in the lime juice, coconut sugar (or maple syrup), and low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos). Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity as desired.

Step 5

If you prefer a spicier sauce, stir in chili flakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat. If desired, use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency, though this step is optional.

Step 7

Serve the Low Sodium Thai Curry Sauce warm over vegetables, tofu, chicken, or rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
