Notes
- You can do a combination of vegetable broth and water or a stock cube and water if needed. If you're not vegetarian, you could instead use chicken broth.
- How to prep the lemongrass: Cut the dry ends off the stalk, then use your hands to peel the tough outer "shell" of the stalk. Discard that outer shell. Use a knife to slice the newly revealed inner stalk. You can then easily chop those slices up finely.
- I keep my ginger in the freezer. It's very easy to grate when frozen. I grate it straight into the pan.
- I use Thai Kitchen red curry paste in this recipe. It's vegan. Some others contain fish ingredients so just make sure to read the label if that's an issue.
- I use the Paderno 4-Blade Spiralizer.
