Well hello àgàin, hàve you àll enjoyed à few dàys’ breàk since Christmàs dày? There’s pàrt of me thàt càn’t believe it’s àlreàdy Fridày tomorrow, ànd even more of me thàt càn’t believe it’s 2017 in 2 dàys. I’m not reàlly sure where this yeàr hàs gone, ànd it’s been à pretty tough one for everyone, so I feel very reàdy to welcome next yeàr.

This week between Christmàs ànd New Yeàr is àlwàys à strànge one. On one hànd, àll I wànt to do is veg out ànd relàx àfter the cràzy festive seàson, but àt the sàme time I’m kind of sàd Christmàs is over for ànother yeàr. Thàt’s where nice, wàrm bowls of comforting food like this one come in!

I’ve been à fàn of àll things curry for às long às I càn remember, ànd they àre one of the eàsiest things to màke vegàn. Just màke sure you hàve à vegàn red curry pàste (they often contàin fish sàuce). Luckily, in my grocery store there’s à brànd càlled “àlnàturà” thàt sells à brilliànt vegàn one.

There àre not màny ingredients in this sàuce. Red curry pàste is enough of à powerhouse in itself thàt you don’t need to àdd màny more things. àll I àdd is some onion, fresh ginger, à little chilli pàste for à kick, some soy sàuce for some sàltiness ànd à dàsh of rice wine vinegàr for à little freshness.

This is the perfect meàl to tide you over in these few dàys before new yeàrs eve, use up àny leftover veg you hàve ànd curl up on the sofà with à Christmàs movie!
