    Easy Vegan Coconut Curry

    Easy Vegan Coconut Curry. Oil-Free and Gluten-Free. Made with creamy coconut milk, fresh vegetables, warming spices and brown rice, this rich yet healthy recipe is sure to please. Easy, not overpowering and absolutely delicious. From The Glowing Fridge

    It wasn’t until I went vegan (almost 2 years ago!) that I tried coconut curry and loved the unique flavor. 

    Plus, it’s all veggies, coconut milk, warming spices and some type of whole grain. What’s not to love?! 

    Incorporating new flavors and trying foods you wouldn’t normally try can be liberating. You never know what you may end up liking. So if you have yet to try a curry dish, this Easy Vegan Coconut Curry is the recipe for you. It’s bursting with comforting flavor but is very basic at the same time. Plus, since the Chinese New Year is right around the corner (starts February 8th), I like the idea of celebrating renewal and coming prosperity with a symbolic dish. The color gold represents good fortune and prosperity so why not try it for a more prosperous year?! 

    My family used to gather at my grandma’s house every year and celebrate the Chinese New Year. She loved celebrating it and would go all out with her favorite Chinese dishes. While I’m pretty sure curry wasn’t served, traditional Chinese curry dishes often include green peppers, onions and potatoes with a mildly spicy yellow curry sauce, served over steamed rice. So of course I added a bunch of vegetables and plenty of turmeric for a golden sauce (represents good fortune!) and served it with brown rice. You can also use long noodles instead of rice to symbolize a long life. 

    For the veggies, I went with green bell pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, yellow squash and edamame but you can use any kind of veggies you have on hand. I also used fresh minced ginger, a bit of garlic and onion. Anything will taste good with this golden sauce because it’s not overpowering with the spices which may come to mind as you think of curry.

    Rather it’s comforting, satisfying, warming and rich but still healthy and loaded with vegetables and whole grains. I love adding Kikkoman Soy Sauce to my curries for more depth and flavor enhancement. It adds that extra savory element and really complements the spices in this Easy Vegan Coconut Curry. I love how versatile soy sauce is and can be added to stews, soups (like this Curried Cauliflower Soup), chili and more. By using 1/2 tsp. Kikkoman Soy Sauce in place of 1/2 tsp. table salt, the sodium content of the recipe is cut by 1000 mg which is something to think about when in the kitchen! I added only a pinch of salt when saut?ing the onion, garlic and ginger and didn’t need to add extra salt whatsoever.

      Hi!

      I have a soy sensitivity so, while it is easy to eliminate the edamame, do you have any suggestion s for eliminating the soy sauce?

      This looks incredible, thank you!

      So I just made this today and it was amazing! I didn’t have some of the ingredients such a cauliflower and edamame on hand so I subbed extra broccoli and potatoes. Added some red thai chilies for extra spice and it’s soo good! Will definitely make this again and hope to find some of your other vegan recipes that are also this good!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
