Method
Watch Tutorial VideoAdd all the paste ingredients to a blender, and blitz to form a paste. The paste will make 3 curries in total, any left over paste can be stored in a sealed container in a fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Place a medium sized saucepan over a low heat and add a little sesame oil, followed by the red onion then sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion has softened and gone a little golden then stir in 3 heaped tablespoons of the curry paste. Cook out the paste for 2-3 minutes, before deglazing the pan with the vegetable stock – then stir well. Turn the heat down low & let the sauce bubble away for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place a non stick frying pan over a medium heat & when it’s hot at the oil followed by the crumbled tempeh. Sauté the tempeh until golden then stir in the maple syrup, tomato puree, chilli flakes, coriander & soy sauce/punzu. Cook the mixture for 4-5 minutes, you want the tempeh to get crispy and caramelised.
After 15 minutes of simmering the curry stir in the coconut milk, miso paste & tahini, then bring to a simmer.
Just before serving sauté your greens, I actually added my chard stems to the curry to cook + the mange tout 2 minutes before serving.
I pour lots of the coconut curry over cooked noodles, then top with the tempeh & steamed greens, then garnish with fresh Thai basil, coriander, roasted peanuts & a wedge of lime.
