This curried plum and green bean stir-fry is a vibrant vegan dish that offers a sophisticated balance of sweet and savoury flavours. Fresh seasonal plums provide a juicy contrast to the earthy crunch of green beans, all brought together in a light, fragrant coconut sauce. The addition of toasted cashews adds a satisfying richness, making this a wonderful plant-based option for those seeking a dinner that feels both nourishing and indulgent.
Quick to prepare and naturally heart-healthy, this stir-fry is served alongside nutty brown rice for a complete and wholesome meal. It is an excellent choice for a midweek dinner when you want something fresh and colourful on the table in under forty minutes. For the best result, ensure your plums are ripe but firm so they hold their shape beautifully in the frying pan.

Ingredients for Curried Plum and Green Bean Stir-Fry
190g long-grain brown rice
3/4 teaspoons salt (preferably kosher), divided
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 spring onions, white and green parts separated and sliced
1 small hot red chilli (like cayenne), chopped
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder

How to make Curried Plum and Green Bean Stir-Fry
In a small saucepan, bring rice, 1/4 teaspoons salt and 300ml water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover; simmer until rice is tender and absorbs the water, 30 to 35 minutes. Turn off heat; leave covered. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook spring onion whites, chilli, ginger, curry, black pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt, stirring, 2 minutes. Add 120ml water and green beans; cook, stirring, until beans turn bright green, about 2 minutes. Add plums, pepper and coconut milk; cook and stir until colours are bright and sauce is thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in cashews. Divide plum-green bean mixture among 4 plates. Serve with rice; sprinkle with spring onion greens before serving.
