I love to cook. I love the fact that you can bring together a series of ingredients, that have nothing to do with one another, and create a beautiful dish that tastes delicious. It’s art in a way. The same way an artist brings together different paints to create something new, a chef does with food. However not everyone feels this way. Some people love delicious food, but absolutely hate to make it. I get it, I have those days too. That’s why we wanted to give you the ultimate 30-minute meal. Our Coconut Curry Stir Fry is not only delicious, but comes together in about 25 minutes.
For a lot of vegans a stir fry is a go-to meal. It’s quick and easy to make, packed full of vegetables and protein, and can easily be customized. That’s why it’s also one of our favourite meals to make, from our Crispy Tofu & Bok Choy to our Peanut Lime Stir Fry. It’s time to enter a new stir fry into the rotation: Coconut Curry Stir Fry.
Perfectly cooked noodles topped with a medley of vegetables, coconut chunks, and finished with a generous drizzle of our curry sauce. I’ve seriously been eating this dish for dinner since I made it the first time – it’s addictive. Maybe it’s how easy it is to make or maybe it’s the change, but either way I’m not mad about it.
Don’t forget that stir fries are completely customizable, which means you should feel free to change up aspects of this recipe if you happen to not like particular ingredients. Enjoy this with some crispy tofu or smoked tempeh for additional protein.
