Transhuman Thai Curry (Vegetarian or Vegan)

One of my most favorite and simple meals I like to cook is a Thai Stir Fry Curry. This vid was made before I stopped being a veg, just fyi.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook TIme: 5 mins
Serves 4 people

Ingredients:
2 Bundles Chinese Stir Noodles or Udon
1 Can Coconut Milk
Assorted Steamed Vegetables and/or Tofu
2 Tbs Tamarind Paste
2 Tbs Soy Sauce
1 Tbs Rice Wine Vinegar
2 Tbs macerated garlic and honey mixture (1 part garlic to 1 part honey)
1 tsp Red (or Green or Yellow) Curry Paste
Chili Paste to taste
2-3 Tbs Sesame or Vegetable oil
1 Tbs butter

1) Prepare steamed vegetables to desired doneness.

2) Place Noodles in boiling salted water. Cook approx. 3 minutes, strain in colander.

3) Combine tamarind paste, honey garlic mix, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chili paste, and curry paste in a bowl and set aside.

4) Heat oil in a large wok on high heat. Make sure the pan is very hot. Place noodles in heated wok and toss to coat in oil. Keep the noodles moving to avoid them sticking to pan. Let the noodles fry for approximately 1 minute and then add your sauce mix. Stir to combine. Add vegetables and coconut milk. Stir constantly and allow the sauce to thicken. When the consistency is nearly right, add the butter. When it has melted completely, the curry is ready to serve.

To make this vegan, just leave out the butter.
For a low-fat version, use light coconut milk and leave out the butter.

Ummm, one caution for those vegan, I believe that most traditional Thai curry pastes (red, green, panaeng) have shrimp paste as an ingredient. So you should either (a) check your ingredients, or (b) make your own. Bonus: Some helpful hints picked up from a Thai cooking class (a) Substitute Soy Sauce for Fish Sauce, (b) Substitute palm sugar for MSG, and (c) Substitute Mushroom sauce for Oyster Sauce.

FYI, honey is not vegan.

Cooking is not worth it unless you make extra and have a lot of leftovers.

Great video, look so good, even though I wouldn't add the butter at the end. Will try to make it as soon as possible :)

If I tried to flip noodles like that they would be on the floor.

I haven't had a good curry in forever and I've been too lazy to cook it. This looks easy enough though, think I'll give it a try. Thanks!

@ThoughtfulAtheist In deed, it is worth it. I love Thai food but eat it much less often than I used to because of the coconut milk. Sadly, I Love coconut and used to use it in a lot of my cooking. But I know a lot of very slim healthy looking vegetarians in Sri Lanka that are dying or having by pass surgery in their forties because of the coconut oil that everything is cooked in.

But damn, thai cooking is wonderful.
