    Vegan northern Thai curry | Vegan Khao soi

    Jump to Recipe

    Thai curry is a finger licking curry. Usually we hear about Yellow, Red or green Thai curry but the below one is Khao soi which has Burmese influence to it. It is light and soupy. You can enjoy it with a bowl of jasmine sticky rice or good old flat noodles. It is a healthy curry which can be eaten by vegans and even those who are going gluten free. Northern Thai curry is perfect when you want something light and delicious. I have used a red Thai curry paste from the market, as it is more convenient but you can always use whole spices to make that broth.

    Thai cuisine is full of jewels which can be made vegan very easily. Whether it is vegetarian Thai soup, Pad thai noodles or Tom yum rice. Wonton soup or pot stickers. No wonder Asian cuisine is so popular everywhere. It always tastes so amazing and yummy no matter what you cook. I love my spices and Asian cuisine uses its spices in its own way. Dishes are usually one pot meals like curry noodle soup or so they cook fast and uses veggies to your liking. It is a great way of having melons in a light broth. If you do not have Jasmine rice, you may use normal rice as an accompaniment for this khow suey recipe.Other vegan dishes that I like include green moong dal curry , plum chutney ,garlic knots , pumpkin lentil curry ,vegan dal makhani , chickpea korma curry , vegan carrot dogs , chana dal recipe & potato curry recipe.
