Coconut Curry Tofu
So this is a cheat meal, as it involves Taste of Thai red curry paste. It comes in a little (tiny!) jar and is worth the price. It also comes in an envelope, but I think those are more expensive? They are at least more unwieldy.
Can of coconut milk (light for health, or regular for heaven)
2 heaping teaspoons Thai red curry paste
1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce (Squid brand FTW!)
1 tablespoon lime juice
Small squirt of sriacha sauce for warmth
Tofu (extra firm)
Vegetables
Jasmine Rice
Using your biggest nonstick fry pan, heat the coconut milk and mix in the flavorings. When it is all blended together and bubbling add the tofu. I cut mine into strips right in the carton.
Simmer the tofu in the sauce for as long as it takes the rice to cook. Toward the end throw your chosen vegetables on top. I use a frozen mix of peppers and sweet onion intended for stirfry, and it is lovely. (Birdseye brand I think?)
Serve over rice. So good.
