COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU
This recipe is delicious and something I worked on perfecting over a couple years' time. Feel free to adjust it to your preference, using tofu or chicken (I've done both, but I think the tofu absorbs the sauce better), add the veggies you want, and adjust the red curry paste and Golden Mountain® sauce to your preference. Best served over white jasmine or basmati rice or vermicelli noodles.

Steps:
- Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed according to package directions, 20 to 25 minutes. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and cook until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, bell pepper, and green onions and cook until vegetables are tender and tofu is browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Add as much coconut milk until the mixture is about half liquid and half tofu and vegetables; you may not need all the coconut milk.

GREEN JASMINE RICE
I got the recipe from Canadian Living and it is a really nice rice with a subtle flavour. If you want more flavour you could add green salsa or hot peppers. The rice is meant to be served as a side to those dishes you don't want to have overpowered by the side. Quick and simple.

COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU
This simple weeknight red curry relies on jarred or canned red curry paste for flavor, which you can find at larger supermarkets and specialty markets. Transfer leftover canned curry paste to a jar, top it with a little oil and store in the refrigerator for up to a month. Or freeze for longer storage. Feel free to substitute other vegetables for the mushrooms and snow peas, though you might have to increase the cooking time slightly if using something dense like carrot or cubed winter squash.
