GREEN CURRY WITH MISO ROASTED TOFU AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND SNOW PEAS 3
When there are not enough hours in the day I make this Vegan Green Curry with miso-roasted tofu and shiitake mushrooms. It is three pan meal, with some knife work, nothing major. It is as easy as putting the rice in the steamer, tofu, and shiitake mushrooms in the oven, and vegan greenery in a pot. In a matter of 30-40 minutes, you have a dinner that is as good as going out to dinner. 
The vegan green curry is full of sweet aromatic flavors highlights of lemongrass and Kaffir lime make the curry so bright. This recipe is light on the spice but you could easily add your own to punch up the spice. 
Combining miso, and tofu with shiitake mushrooms is such an easy move that has delivered on all fronts, with huge flavor, and to be honest, it is very diverse, just adjust the flavors that are layered on top of the miso paste.

WHAT YOU NEED…

  • Green Curry Paste is widely at most grocery stores. Green chilies paired with coriander root, and herbs make for a bright and slightly sweet curry.
  • Coconut milk brings all of the rich creamy flavors and mouth feel. As the curry cooks the coconut milk will reduce making it sweet and richer in flavor. 
  • Red Miso Paste is my new favorite ingredient. For years I used yellow miso paste which is on the mild side. Red miso on the other hand is darker in color, more assertive in flavor, slightly pungent, and saltier. It is a super flavor buster for sure.
  • Snow Peas are the perfect fresh green vegetable for a vegan curry. The peas are sweet and tender. The thing I like most is that the snow peas cook so fast all you have to do is add them to the curry two minutes before serving.

Chefs Tip

  • I have found that sometimes the coconut milk separates during the cooking. Don’t stress there is an easy fix. Just before you add the snow peas, remove the lemongrass and Kaffir Lime leaves, then use a handheld immersion blender to emulsify the vegan green curry. Place the curry back on the stove and add the snow peas.
