Simple Vegan Thai Curry with Dee Plee

Dee Plee, also known as Indian long pepper, adds a unique heat and flavor to this Thai curry. Its spicy and slightly bitter taste complements the creamy coconut milk perfectly.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1–2 dried red chili peppers, chopped
  • 1–2 Dee Plee peppers, chopped (adjust to your desired heat)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 cup your favorite vegetables (e.g., eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, green beans)
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the curry paste: In a small bowl, combine the red curry paste, onion, garlic, ginger, dried red chili peppers, and Dee Plee peppers.
  2. Cook the curry: In a medium-sized pot, heat the coconut milk over medium heat. Add the prepared curry paste and stir until fragrant.
  3. Add the broth and seasonings: Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Bring to a simmer and let cook for a few minutes.
  4. Add vegetables: Stir in your chosen vegetables and cook until tender.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Tips:

  • For a thicker curry, reduce the amount of vegetable broth.
  • Adjust the heat of the curry by adding more or fewer Dee Plee peppers.
  • You can also add tofu or tempeh to this curry for a protein boost.

Enjoy your simple yet flavorful vegan Thai curry with Dee Plee!
