Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 (14-oz.) package firm or extra-firm tofu, patted dry, cut into 1/2" cubes
Kosher salt
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup red curry paste
2 large zucchini, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 large or 2 small Japanese eggplant, cut into 1/2" pieces
8 oz. green beans, trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
1 (13.5-oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk
Lime wedges, cilantro leaves with tender stems, and coarsely chopped salted, roasted peanuts (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high. Add tofu in a single layer and cook, turning over once, until cooked sides are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Season with kosher salt.
  • Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot or high-sided skillet over medium-high. Add onions and a generous pinch of salt and stir to coat. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in curry paste and cook, stirring often, until darkened in color, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini, eggplant, and green beans and cook, tossing to coat, until vegetables are softened and starting to brown in spots, 5-7 minutes. Pour in coconut milk and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer.
  • Add tofu to pot and stir gently to combine. Cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with more salt if needed.
  • Divide curry among bowls and add a generous squeeze of lime juice to each. Top with cilantro and peanuts.

I'm not a big fan of tofu, but this dish changed my mind. The crispy tofu added a great texture to the curry, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The curry sauce was flavorful and not too spicy. I will definitely be making this again!

This curry was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used a variety of summer vegetables, including zucchini, bell peppers, and corn. The tofu was a great addition, and it absorbed all the delicious flavors of the curry sauce. I served it over rice,

I thought this curry was just okay. The tofu was a bit bland, and the vegetables were a bit mushy. The curry sauce was flavorful, but it was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had used less chili peppers.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add a bit of extra ginger and garlic to the curry sauce, and I like to serve it with a side of naan bread.
