Ingredients
-
1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
-
1 onion, sliced thin
-
1 cup homemade chicken stock or 1 cup vegetarian stock
-
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 teaspoon brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/3 cup drained canned bamboo shoot, halved
-
1 lb broccoli, thick stems removed, tops cut into small florets (1 quart)
-
1 tomatoes, chopped
-
1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
-
1/3 cup thin-sliced basil leaves (I use fresh Thai Basil)
-
1 finely chopped carrot
-
1 2/3 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk (one 15-ounce can)
-
1 1/2-3 teaspoons thai green curry paste
-
1 lb boiling potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, I cube mine smaller then 1/2 inch
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the curry paste and fry, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add the coconut milk and broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, bamboo shoots, potatoes, and broccoli. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato and heat through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lime juice and basil.
- Variations:
- Other vegetables that would taste good in place of the broccoli include carrots, eggplant, cauliflower, snow peas, cabbage, green beans, and canned baby corn. Try your favorite, or use a combination of vegetables.
