¾ cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
1 tablespoon curry paste
1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric

3 tablespoons coconut milk
3 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)

Steps:

  • Mix coconut milk, kecap manis, curry paste, turmeric powder, ginger, and vegan fish sauce together in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Seal and shake to mix.

Tips for Making Thai Tofu Peanut Curry:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers, but you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as snap peas, snow peas, or baby corn.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level. If you like your curry spicy, add more chili paste or curry powder. If you prefer a milder curry, use less chili paste or omit it altogether.
  • Make sure to use full-fat coconut milk. This will give your curry a rich and creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the tofu. Tofu is best when it is cooked until it is just heated through. Overcooked tofu will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve with rice or noodles. This curry is traditionally served with rice, but you can also serve it with noodles, such as ramen or udon.

Conclusion:

This Thai Tofu Peanut Curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. The curry is flavorful and creamy, and the tofu is tender and satisfying. Serve it with rice or noodles, and you have a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
