Curried Coconut Tofu and Vegetables
By Marge Perry & David Bonom. Coconut milk brings out the creamy goodness in this vegetarian curry dish. Serve over rice for a complete, well-balanced and very tasty meatless meal.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp mild curry
- 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 2 lb firm tofu cut in 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 red red bell peppers diced
- 2 cup cauliflower florets
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ½ tsp salt
DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oil and curry in a large deep nonstick skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add the tofu and ginger and cook, gently stirring the tofu to coat it with the curry, for 30 seconds.
- Stop stirring and let the tofu get lightly browned for about 2 minutes. Toss and brown again.
- Gently transfer the tofu to a plate and add the pepper, broccoli and cauliflower. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients and cook 5 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the vegetables are somewhat softened.
- Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce and salt and stir; add the tofu and cook another 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the sauce slightly thickened.
