Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

14 ounces light coconut milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (plus extra for garnish)
1 tablespoon red curry paste (or to taste)
1 tablespoon curry powder (or to taste)
1 tablespoon chili sauce (or to taste)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, chopped
14 ounces extra firm tofu
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cups Baby Spinach
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 red onion
2 cups cooked brown rice

Steps:

  • Drain tofu and cut into thin slices. Heat oil over medium heat. Cook tofu in a single layer without stirring about 5 minutes or until slightly browned on bottom. Stir gently. Then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thouroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  • While tofu is cooking, prepare sauce by mixing coconut milk, cilantro, curry paste, curry powder, chili sauce, soy sauce, and garlic.
  • Add veggies and sauce and cook, stirring, until veggies are barely wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve with brown rice and garnish with extra cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape and not crumble when cooked.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will remove excess water and help the tofu absorb the flavors of the marinade or sauce.
  • Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. This will help the tofu absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more flavorful.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help prevent the tofu from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Serve the tofu with your favorite sides. Rice, vegetables, and noodles are all great options.

Conclusion:

This coconut curry tofu recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make vegan dish. The tofu is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then cooked in a creamy coconut curry sauce. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. Whether you are a vegan or just looking for a new and exciting way to cook tofu, this recipe is sure to please.
