    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!

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side.
