Ingredients: long grain basmati rice, lots of crunchy veggies like onions, green peppers, red peppers, baby corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, peas, green beans, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms. Canned and frozen veggies are what I use. Essentially any veggies you have that don't need water to be fully cooked. Thai red curry sauce, coconut milk, chili garlic sauce (can be made at home by mixing red chillies, garlic, vinegar and a dash of tomato paste), ginger, basil leaves, oil.
Process:
Chop veggies into big long pieces. I keep baby corn whole.
In a wide wok, add oil. Add onions to the hot oil. Before onions turn soft, add all other veggies (canned ones do not need to be cooked prior to addition). Add only a teaspoon of coconut milk for flavor! You can totally make this without the coconut milk. Add basil leaves, grated ginger and let simmer.
Stir in sauces and salt. At this point you can add any protein: tofu, chicken, shrimp etc. which has been precooked. Stir into sauce.
Cook long grain rice.
In a big bowl stir in sautéed veggies with rice. Add salt, sugar or sauce to taste. Stir in lime juice.
Serve hot.
Suggestions: I have made this recipe with other ingredients like peanuts, cashews, paneer etc. and essentially added whatever veggies I had available. Sometimes you can add egg whites to the oil during the sautéing of the onions instead of adding meat protein. Sometimes I make just the stir fry and eat it with or without rice. If you want to make a curry, add Lite coconut milk and simmer until oil separates. You can essentially make this dish as healthy or unhealthy as you want 😀
