Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini {about 2 cups} chopped
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • ½ a small red onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste such as Thai Kitchen
  • cup coconut milk*
  • ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • About 2 ½ cups frozen brown rice*

Instructions

  • Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add zucchini, broccoli and red onion and cook until just starting to soften and get charred in spots, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add red curry paste and toss with vegetables to coat.
  • Pour in coconut milk and soy sauce and stir, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in frozen rice. Reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer until the rice is heated through and has absorbed some of the liquid {it should thicken quite a bit}, stirring often. Serve hot.

Notes

*I usually make this with frozen brown rice. You could probably make it with cold leftover rice, too, but you may need to reduce the amount of liquid.
