Oat Milk Red Curry

Can you actually enjoy a skinny version of red curry??? YES! My lightened up version of traditional red curry gives you all the Thai curry flavor without all of the fat + calories. Once you try this Oat Milk Red Curry, you will not be sorry!!!! You might not ever go back to the full fat version.

There are some occasions where only a bowl of curry will do.  You know those occasions.  The robust aromatic flavors in Thai curries are second to none.  Sometimes a traditional curry recipe (like this one here) is absolutely perfect.  Alternatively, on a busy night, maybe you ran out of canned coconut milk, maybe you are really keeping those calories in check, or maybe you just don’t like coconut!

Personally, I try to limit my saturated fat content in all forms so using oat milk seemed like the perfect alternative.  The key to getting this dish as close to the real thing as possible is the combination of the oat milk and the corn starch slurry.  This combination gives it the creamy texture similar to that of coconut milk. Add in any veggies you love, some cubed + cooked tofu, and there you have it! Dinner in under one hour and packed with wholesome veggies, and tons of flavor!
