Directions
Remove white parts of green onions, and finely chop. Chop greens into 2 inch pieces.
In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, mix coconut milk, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, ginger, and chile paste.
Bring to a boil. Stir tofu, tomatoes, yellow pepper, mushrooms, and finely chopped green onions into the skillet. Reduce heat to a low boil and cover.
Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in basil and bok choy. Season with salt and remaining soy sauce.
Continue cooking 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender but crisp. Garnish with remaining green onion.
Recipe Note
- Gluten-Free: soy sauces are made with wheat, but there are many gluten free options available at your local grocer, or use tamari in half the required amount.
- Peeling ginger root: if the edible skin of ginger root is not palatable to you, simply peel it off by scraping with the edge of a spoon.
- Mincing ginger root
- Storing fresh herbs
