Ingredients
1 T. Thai red curry paste
1 t. grated fresh ginger
2 c. low-sodium vegetable broth
1 14-ounce can coconut milk
kosher salt
1/2 lb. shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps thinly sliced
4 oz. green beans, halved
2 carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
14 oz. extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into cubes
4 oz. snow peas
2 T. fresh lime juice
1/4 c. torn fresh basil leaves
Asian chili garlic sauce, for serving (we used sriracha)

Directions
Place the curry paste and ginger in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the broth, coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil.

Add the mushrooms, green beans, and carrots to the saucepan and simmer until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tofu and snow peas and simmer until the snow peas are bright green, about 1 minute more.

Stir in the lime juice. Sprinkle with the basil and serve with the chili garlic sauce.
