ZUCCHINI TOFU CURRY



Zucchini Tofu Curry image

This is a fast dish to make and tastes great! My family loves it so much that I double the tofu. There is no prep time because as soon as I put my side on the stove I start cubing and chopping whatever needs to go in the wok, in the order it is listed. Add more heat if you like, I can't because I'm the only one who likes it hot!

1 tablespoon oil
2 (12 ounce) extra firm tofu, cubed
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
13 -14 ounces coconut milk, canned
1 large zucchini, cubed
1 -2 teaspoon curry powder
1 dash curry powder, hot (more if you like heat)
1 dash cumin
1 dash nutmeg

Steps:

  • Drain and dice tofu.
  • Add tofu to hot oil in wok and saute, drain excess liquid and continue to saute to desired crispiness.

  • Cut zucchini into bite size pieces and add to wok.
  • Let everything cook for 7-10 minutes more, depending on desired doness of zucchini and thickness of sauce.
  • I like serving millet as a side which takes 20 minutes to cook, so I time it with the curry to make sure everything is done at the same time!

VEGETABLE TOFU CURRY



Vegetable Tofu Curry image

This one-pot vegetarian meal comes together quickly and leftovers keep for days. Creamy coconut milk is made up of fat and liquid from pressed coconut meat and this recipe delivers its full range of flavors. When you melt the solids from a can of coconut milk and keep cooking until the liquid evaporates, the oil eventually separates out and delivers toasty nuttiness. Here, onion - any kind - tenderizes in that tasty fat, and curry powder becomes more fragrant in it. Tofu soaks up the curry sauce while vegetables steam over the mixture, then everything gets stirred together. Experiment with whatever vegetables you have on hand, cooking them until tender.

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 broccoli heads, 8 ounces green beans or 2 cups frozen peas, or a combination
1 (14- to 16-ounce) container firm tofu
1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon curry powder, plus more to taste
Cooked rice or other grains or noodles, for serving
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • If using broccoli, trim the ends of the stems and discard, then cut the stems off near the base of the florets. Cut off the thick peel around the stems, then cut the stems into 1/2-inch slices. Cut the broccoli crowns into small florets. Drain the tofu and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • Open the can of coconut milk and spoon off an inch or so of the hard white solid part into a large saucepan with a lid. (If the milk is all liquid, add a few spoonfuls.) Turn the heat to medium-high. When the solids melt, add the onion and broccoli stems, if using, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. The coconut milk liquid should have evaporated, so the onions should be sizzling in coconut oil and the milk solids should be brown and smell toasty. Scrape up any bits sticking to the bottom.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low, add the curry powder and stir until evenly mixed, about 10 seconds. Add the remaining coconut milk, stir and bring to a simmer. Add the tofu and spread the cubes in an even layer, then top with the broccoli florets or other vegetables, sprinkle with salt and cover with the lid. Cook until the vegetables are just tender but still bright green, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Gently stir so the vegetables are also coated in sauce. Taste and stir in more curry powder, salt and pepper if you'd like. Serve hot over rice or other grains or noodles, with hot sauce if you want.

Tips:

  • Choose firm or extra-firm tofu: This will help the tofu hold its shape when cooking.
  • Press the tofu before cooking: This will help remove excess water and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the curry.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Curry is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste.
  • Serve with rice or naan bread: These are traditional accompaniments to curry that will help soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Zucchini tofu curry is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its combination of protein, vegetables, and spices, this curry is a flavorful and nutritious dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
