Thai Coconut Curry!

I looooooove making this. It's super easy and can use up so many leftovers.

The basics?

1.Thai curry paste, available at all grocery stores. red, green, or yellow.

GREEN is usually HOTTEST,
while YELLOW is usually MILD,
and RED is usually MILDER. But it depends what chili you like, and how much you add, and what your favourite colour is, to be honest.
2. a can of LIGHT coconut milk.
3. fresh ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper for seasoning
4. vegetables [such as broccoli, cauliflower, green or different coloured onions, peppers, assorted mushrooms, snow peas, green beans, edamame, baby corn, bamboo stocks, carrots, zuchini, whatever the hell you want or have stuffed in your fridge.
5. protein, such as tofu, chicken, seafood, beef, and whatnot. you can just stick with veggie curry too.

NOTE: stick with the colours. for red curry, use red peppers and beef. For green curry, use broccoli, seafood, and green peppers. For yellow curry, use potatoes, cauliflower, and chicken... you get the idea. But you can mix and match as you'd like.
