I thought this recipe was pretty good, but I found the tofu to be a little dry. I think I would prefer to use a different type of tofu next time.

I thought this recipe was really good, but I found the green jasmine rice to be a little bland. I think I would prefer to serve it with a different type of rice next time.

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by using less curry paste. The curry was still very flavorful and the tofu was cooked perfectly.

I added some extra vegetables to the curry, like bell peppers and snow peas, and it turned out great! The curry was flavorful and creamy, and the vegetables added a nice crunch.
