VEGETARIAN YELLOW CURRY
This is the best curry dish I have ever had. A Japanese roommate and I made it up in college on a dark winter night to avoid writing final papers out of the leftovers we dug up in the kitchen. The curry paste is easy to find in little cans at import stores, and you can add as little or as much spice as you want to the dish. It is both one pot and vegetarian. Serve over a big scoop of rice and garnish with peanuts, cilantro, and raisins.

Steps:
- Press tofu cubes between towels to drain excess water.
- Heat oil in a shallow pan over medium heat. Cook tofu in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and place on towels to soak up excess oil.
- Open the can of coconut milk and scoop out the thicker top portion into a large wok or pan. Save the watery bottom portion. Cook over medium-high heat until bubbling and a thin layer of oil appears on the top, about 5 minutes. Add curry paste and stir to incorporate. Allow to cook, stirring so this mixture does not stick or burn, until the oil film reappears.
- Add the rest of the coconut milk and enough vegetable broth to reach desired consistency; bring to a simmer. Stir in potatoes and simmer until almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in carrots, bell pepper, and snow peas; simmer until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add tofu and heat through, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve.
