Quick Coconut Curry Bowls Recipes

QUICK COCONUT CURRY WITH RICE, CORN, AND BEANS

Steps:

• Mix black-eyed peas, coconut milk, corn, tomato paste, curry powder, sugar, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a pot until smooth and evenly combined; simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until curry sauce is heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Pour enough water into a separate pot to almost fill and bring to a boil; season with a pinch of salt. Add rice to boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is very soft, about 15 minutes. Drain excess water from rice.
• Mix rice and curry sauce together in a large bowl.

QUICK COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Add lemongrass to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add ginger, jalapeños, scallions and garlic and pulse until fine. Add onion and pulse until coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess or mixture will become pureed.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large dutch oven over high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and add to dutch oven. Sear until deeply golden, about 3 minutes per side. If necessary, saute in batches, adding more oil as necessary. Remove and transfer to a plate.
• Lower heat to medium-low and add one tablespoon oil to the pot. Add onion mixture and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Add curry powder and continue to cook until vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes more. Add chicken stock, coconut milk, rice, and 1 ½ teaspoons salt and nestle chicken into liquid.
• Cover and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cover and let cook, about 25 minutes, or until rice is tender, stirring after 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered, 5 minutes.
• While chicken cooks, wipe out the food processor and add cilantro to the bowl. Pulse until finely chopped.
• Stir cilantro into the curry and serve, garnished with lime wedges, additional sprigs of cilantro, and toasted coconut shavings.

COCONUT CURRY NOODLE BOWL

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the garlic, chilli (if using) and ginger, and fry on a low heat for about 5 mins until softened. Add the curry powder and stir, frying for 1 min more until aromatic. Add the soy sauce and sriracha (if using), and stir again. Pour in the coconut milk, breaking up any solids on the top of the can with a spoon. Stir until combined, then leave the sauce on a medium heat with a lid on to simmer for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the nuts in a bowl and mix with the soy sauce and maple syrup until fully coated. Scatter the nuts on a sheet of baking parchment on a baking tray, and roast for 10-12 mins, stirring halfway through.
• While the nuts are roasting, heat the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan. When hot, add the veg and stir-fry for 3-4 mins until slightly softened. Add the noodles and fry for another 2 mins until heated through.
• Take both pans off the heat and pour the coconut sauce into the wok (or add the noodles to the saucepan) and stir until everything is coated in the sauce. Spoon into bowls and scatter over the nuts and coriander.
