Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 @@@@@ Real Simple Thai Spiced Tofu 8 ounces firm tofu, cut into four 1/2-inch slices 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (found in the Asian section of most supermarkets) 3 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons fish sauce or tamari (for vegetarians who don't eat fish) 1/2 pound green beans 1/2 cup vegetable broth 1 tablespoon peanut oil Place the tofu between layers of paper towels and weigh them down with a heavy skillet to remove excess water. Set aside to drain for 10 minutes. Combine the curry paste, sugar, and fish sauce; put half this sauce in a resealable plastic bag. Add the tofu, seal, and set aside for 15 minutes. In a saucepan, combine the green beans, broth, oil, and the remaining curry (and red pepper flakes to taste). Simmer until the beans are tender, about 5 minutes. Cover to keep warm. Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with vegetable cooking spray and place it over medium heat. When hot, add the tofu and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a dinner plate and cover. (Cook the fish or chicken if using.) Serve with the green beans.

I also used soft brown sugar. And I used frozen/defrosted tofu for its texture. ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
