3. Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Once the pot is heated, pour in the onions and ginger. Saute them for about 2 minutes, or until the onions turn translucent. Next, add the minced garlic, curry paste, diced potatoes, and the leftover chopped carrots, and stir everything together.

4. Add the vegetable stock and cover the pot with a lid. Once the stock starts boiling, add the coconut milk, cabbage and the leftover chopped squashes. Stir, and wait for the liquid to start boiling again. Once the stew boils, season with fish sauce, lime juice, and sea salt. Check to see if the potatoes are fully cooked by piercing a fork into a piece of potato. If the fork can go through it easily, they're ready.
