Curried Tofu Stir-Fry With Coconut Sauce image

Adapted from _America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook_. I serve this with jasmine rice as a quick weeknight dinner. As written, the amount of heat in this dish is pretty low (my 8 year old daughter doesn't have much of a fire-tongue yet), so adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and curry powder to your taste.
