Vegan Thai Red Curry with Tofu

Step 1

Cut the pressed tofu into cubes, or tear into cube size pieces for extra texture.

Step 2

Mix the cornstarch and the seasonings together except the oil. Add the tofu cubes into the bowl and toss to combine, until all pieces are coated. Set aside or cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

In a pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Once hot, add in the tofu cubes and brown and crisp until all sides are completely browned and crisped up. Remove the tofu and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan over medium high heat, heat the rest of the coconut oil.

Step 5

Add in the curry paste to fry it, stirring into the coconut oil, for about 1 minute. Add in the chopped onion and cook until onion is slightly translucent about 8 minutes.

Step 6

Add in the garlic, stir together, then the second tablespoon of coconut oil, then add the broccoli, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and carrots.

Step 7

Add the sea salt, black pepper, coconut sugar, and liquid aminos on top and stir everything together. Reduce heat to medium and cook down, stirring, until carrots are tender-crisp, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

Add in the coconut milk and stir. Add in the crispy tofu, then let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Squeeze the lime over, stir, and then remove from heat.

Step 9

Add in the thai basil on top (optional!), and stir in the sambal oelek (or Sriracha) if using. Serve with rice, naan bread and a lime wedge. Enjoy!!
