Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and chop the onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and tomatoes. Bruise the lemongrass stalks to release their flavor.

Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the red curry paste, garlic, kaffir lime leaves, and galanga powder. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the mixture becomes fragrant.

Add Vegetables: Toss in the chopped onions, red bell pepper, and any preferred chilies. Stir-fry until the onions are slightly tender.

Create Flavor Base: Pour in the vegetable broth, sake wine (shrimp paste), and dry white wine. Add the coconut milk and lemongrass stalks. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Cook Fish: Add the fish cubes and quartered tomatoes to the simmering curry. Cover the skillet or wok and let it simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is firm and fully cooked. 
- 
Thicken Curry: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the curry and stir continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
