What are your favourite tofu recipes? RECIPE here

[Guest guest]

Hmm, I have a terrible addiction to my personal westernized thai

coconut curry... This happens to be my absolute favorite tofu recipe,

and is big enough to feed a few people (or one for a few good meals)!

It's totally Vegan and full of good protien and veggies, so try it if

you dare.

 

1 can coconut milk

1 tub of hard tofu (non-silk), cut into 1-inch pieces

1 can chikpeas

1 tbsp thai red curry paste (I use Thai Kitchen brand)

1 bunch green onions or 1 1/2 leeks

1/2 cup diced small carrots

peppers (any color/s) cut however you want

broccoli - 1 small head

cauliflower - 1 small head

whatever other veggies or mushrooms you want to fry up

A large pinch of Dried Basil

A large pinch of mixed dry herbs. (I like herbs-de-provence, but

parsley, sage and thyme are just fine)

Agave Nectar or brown sugar - to taste

Sea Salt and Pepper - to taste

 

1) Cook the tofu in a pinch of olive oil (or a combo of olive and

sesame) until it's gently browned on both sides. Use a BIG pot.

 

2) Add all of your veggies and onions. Stir-fry on med-hi until well

heated through, and onions are almost carmelized.

 

3) Add thai red curry paste and mix well. (It's spicy. I use at least

1 tbsp, but use your own judgment!) Then add all of the dried herbs.

 

4) Add can of coconut milk until it begins to boil. Add can of

chikpeas, mix and let it simmer covered for about 8-10 minutes on med-

low.

 

5) After everything is soft, add salt, pepper and Agave Nectar /

brown sugar until the taste is just right.

 

 

I like to eat it plain, but it's fantastic on sticky rice or asian

noodles. I love soba, but udon works just as well. Hope someone

enjoys this recipe as much as I do!
