Ingredients
For the rice:
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 3/4 cups water
For the vegan Thai green curry:
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 cups peeled sweet potatoes, chopped into 2cm pieces
- 1 3/5 cups low-fat coconut milk
- 3 tbs vegan green Thai curry paste
- 1 tsp maple sugar
- 3 tbs pure Canadian maple syrup (preferably amber for its rich taste)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
- 2 tbs lime juice
- 10 fresh asparagus (washed and ends cut off)
- 1/2 cup roasted cashew nuts
- Handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
Method
To make the rice:
- Put the rice and water in a pan.
- Stir and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce to low and simmer until all the water is gone. This should take about 15 minutes.
To make the vegan Thai green curry:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Put the asparagus onto a baking tray then drizzle maple syrup on top.
- Roast the asparagus for 10 minutes, until tender but still firm. Put to one side.
- In a large pan, add the water, ginger and sweet potatoes over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer then cover with a lid and cook for 8 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, in a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, curry paste, maple sugar and chilli flakes until smooth.
- Once the 8 minutes are up, add the coconut milk mixture and stir well in the pan.
- Bring it back to a simmer and cook another 5 minutes.
- Add the lime juice, stir and heat through for about 30 seconds.
To serve:
- Plate a portion of rice and then add the curry sauce.
- Top with the roasted asparagus and the cashew nuts.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh coriander on the top to serve.
