Thai Green Curry w/ Tofu and Vegetables


Ingredients:

1 Package Tofu, firm, pressed, drained, diced

1 Can Coconut Milk

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

3 Cloves Garlic

1.5 tablespoons Ginger, grated

1⁄2 C Green Onion

1 Zucchini, chopped

1 Bag Snow Peas

1⁄4 C Cilantro

2 Red Chilis, diced

Salt and Pepper, to taste

1⁄4 C Green Curry Paste

 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu: Press the firm tofu using a clean towel or paper towels for 15-20 minutes

to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a large pan over medium heat,

add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until

golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.

 

2. Prepare the Curry: In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if needed. Sauté the minced

garlic, grated ginger, and diced red chilies for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped

zucchini and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the green curry paste and cook

for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to release the flavors.

 

3. Simmer the Curry: Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine. Add the snow peas and

additional vegetables as preferred and let the curry simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the

flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the curry flavors feel muted, add a

splash of lemon or lime juice to enhance the depth and bring out the aromatic spices.

 

4. Add the Tofu & Final Touches: Return the cooked tofu to the pan and gently stir it into the

curry. Let everything simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chopped green onions

and cilantro just before serving.

 

5. Serve: Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
