Instructions
- Begin by preparing all the ingredients, including making your homemade Thai Red Curry Paste, and set it aside.
- Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the broccoli and carrots, stir-frying for a few minutes until they are steamed but still crisp.
- Add the baby corn to the same pan, sprinkle with salt, and stir-fry for a few more minutes until the vegetables are cooked but remain crisp. Set the vegetables aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and stir for 1–2 minutes to release its fragrance.
- Pour in the coconut milk, vegetable stock, date syrup, and salt. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Add the stir-fried vegetables to the curry, allowing the dish to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the curry thickens slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Once the curry has reached your desired consistency, transfer it to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve this aromatic curry with steamed Thai jasmine sticky rice, Thai stir-fried green beans, or rice paper vegetarian spring rolls for a complete meal.
