Craving something flavorful and healthy? We’ve got you covered with this week’s Foodie Friday Find: a stunning Thai vegetable curry, adapted for kidney health with the expert guidance of Balboa Nephrology’s Registered Dietitian and Health Educator, Min Krishnamurthy! We discovered this beautiful and versatile recipe on The Woks of Life, and we’re thrilled to share our kidney-friendly twist.

What makes this curry so special? It’s incredibly adaptable! You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand, making it a fantastic way to use up those veggies in your fridge. But the best part? We’ve made it kidney-friendly without sacrificing any of the deliciousness.

Min’s expert tips for a kidney-friendly curry:

  • Spice it Right: We recommend halving the amount of red curry paste to keep sodium levels in check.
  • Sodium Savvy: Similarly, reduce the fish (or soy) sauce by half. This makes a big difference for kidney health.
  • Protein Power: If you’re looking to add protein, tofu is a great, kidney-friendly option.
  • Veggie Swap: Swap out the zucchini for broccoli. This simple change helps manage potassium intake.

With these easy adjustments, you can enjoy a vibrant and flavorful Thai vegetable curry that’s both delicious and supportive of your kidney journey. Enjoy!
