- Hi, friends, welcome to my channel.
If you're new here, my name is Alyssa.
Today I have got a
delicious recipe for you
that I have been so excited to share.
This is a vegan red curry.
It's served with noodles.
It has veggies, it has crispy tofu.
And while it might seem
complicated from the pictures,
it's actually so easy to make.
It can all be made in under 30 minutes,
and you guys are going to love it.
So we've got a red curry
sauce that we make from home.
We're using gluten-free ramen noodles,
and we're also using vegetables.
And I have a few tips
and tricks along the way
to make this as easy as possible for you.
So of course, the full recipe's
up on the blog already.
If you'd like to make it,
you can find that link down
in the description box below.
I'd also like to just pause quickly
before we dive into the recipe
and encourage you guys to
hit the red subscribe button
that is right below this video.
If you're not yet part of this community,
I am here twice a week sharing new videos
so make sure to tap that
button before you go.
Otherwise, let's go ahead and dive
into today's vegan red curry recipe.
All right, so we're gonna start
by baking up our crispy tofu.
I have a block of extra firm tofu here,
and I'm just cutting it into slabs.
And then I flip those
over, cut them into strips,
and then cut them into squares.
So you're basically
just looking for cubes.
You can cut it any which way you'd like.
From there, you will add those
cubes onto a baking sheet.
And you can just bake them right away,
or you could season them
with salt and pepper.
It's up to you, I just
bake them right away
'cause they're gonna get
plenty flavorful in the oven.
And we're gonna bake them at 400 degrees
for about 30 minutes until
they are nice and crispy.
And here's what it looks like
when it's nice and crispy.
But this is actually gonna be cooking
while we make the rest of the ingredients,
so just leave it in the
oven until it's done,
and you can move on to
the other ingredients.
So for the sauce,
we're gonna add some coconut
oil into a large skillet.
Let that melt, and then
you'll add in some shallots,
garlic, and freshly grated ginger.
And you'll just give this a quick saute.
It's gonna cook pretty quickly
in about two minutes or so
until everything is kinda flavorful
and it's kind of turned
lightly golden brown.
And then you'll add in
your red curry paste.
And just make sure
that you're buying a vegan red
curry paste if you are vegan.
Some of them might have fish
sauce or something in them.
Just make sure to check the label.
Give that a quick saute.
And then we will add in our coconut milk.
So I use a can of full fat
and then also a can of
light in the recipe.
I just like the blend the most that way.
But again, you could use two light
or you could use two full fat.
It's up to you.
So just give it a stir
until it's all combined,
and then we'll add in
our gluten-free tamari.
You could also use soy
sauce or coconut aminos.
Give it a quick stir
until it's all combined.
Bring this to a low boil or a simmer.
And we're just gonna simmer
this for about 10 minutes or so
until it's thickened up a little bit.
So let that do its thing on the stove,
and then we'll quickly make
our noodles and our vegetables.
So for the noodles,
just pick whatever kind
of noodles you're gonna make.
I'm making gluten-free ramen noodles
which are made in boiling water,
but just look at the package
instructions for your noodles.
If you are making ones
that use boiling water,
we are actually gonna add
our vegetables into this pot
to gently steam them before
we add them into the curry.
So this one, I add the ramen
noodles into the boiling water,
and then I use a fork
to kind of break up the
noodles a little bit
because they're kind of
(laughs) like cup of ramen
where it's like a block and
then you gotta break 'em up.
So just break 'em with your fork.
And don't worry, I will
link the ones that I used
down below for you in the description box.
And then once you are
broken up with your noodles,
you can add in your vegetables.
So we're using some broccoli,
as well as some chopped up broccoli stems,
carrots, and red bell pepper.
And you just give that a quick stir.
And these are kind of just
gonna float at the top
and they're gonna boil for a little while
and basically just gently
cook while the noodles cook.
So once everything is done, you
can remove it from the heat,
drain it, and I use a fine mesh strainer,
and then we'll just
dump the entire contents
of that pot into our sauce.
Then we'll top it with our crispy tofu.
And just use salad tongs
to toss it all together.
And I find that this is
the easiest way to do it.
You can kind of fold the
sauce into the noodles.
And oh my God, you guys, it's so good.
I feel like I'm just gonna
keep saying that (laughs)
throughout this video, but
it's literally so good.
And here are what the noodles look like.
They're coated in a gorgeous, creamy,
coconutty red curry sauce.
And you can just serve
it up in your bowls.
The recipe serves four people.
So just serve it up
any which way you like,
and I hope you guys enjoy it.
It's so cozy, so comforting,
and actually really easy to make.
And again, it's good.

I know that I say that every single time,
but if there's one recipe on this channel,
it's this one that you have to make.
It is so good.
And you can totally make substitutions
based on what you have on hand.
You could use different vegetables.
You could use whatever
kind of noodles you wanted.
You could use light coconut milk
if you wanted to make it lighter.
You could swap the tofu
for whatever kind of protein you want.
It's very customizable,
and it tastes so good.
