Ingredients

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon curry paste (red or yellow)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 1 cup diced eggplant
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

How to Make Vegetable Curry Bowl with Rice

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 1 cup of coconut milk, and 1 cup of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  2. While the rice cooks, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and eggplant to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Stir in the curry paste and soy sauce, mixing well to coat the vegetables. Add the remaining coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the vegetable curry over the coconut rice, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the level of curry paste to suit your spice preference.
  • For a creamier sauce, add an extra splash of coconut milk.
  • Let the curry sit for a few minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to deepen.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute quinoa or brown rice for jasmine rice for a different grain.
  • Add chickpeas or tofu for extra protein.
  • Experiment with other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or spinach.
  • Use green curry paste for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • Naan or pita bread for dipping.
  • A side salad with a light vinaigrette.
  • Pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
  • A refreshing cucumber raita to cool the palate.

Storage and Reheating

This Vegetable Curry Bowl can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave or on the stove over low heat until heated through. If the curry thickens, add a splash of vegetable broth or coconut milk to loosen it up.
