Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. Thai red curry paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp.)
  • 2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
  • 1 medium sweet potato, halved
  • 2 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 small heads baby bok choy, cut into wide ribbons (2 cups)

  • 2 tsp. lime juice
  • 2 Tbs. chopped cilantro

Preparation

1 | Combine curry paste, garlic, and ginger in small bowl, and set aside.

Add bok choy and corn, increase heat to high, and cook 2 minutes, or until bok choy is wilted. Add curry paste mixture, and cook 30 seconds. Add coconut milk and lime juice, and remove pan from heat.
