SOUTH INDIAN-INSPIRED COCONUT RICE NOODLES WITH TOFU AND VEGETABLES



South Indian-Inspired Coconut Rice Noodles with Tofu and Vegetables image

This one-pot dish takes inspiration from South Indian flavors (with some added influence from the Southeast Asian noodle dishes khao soi and laksa, for good measure), using garam masala to add depth and complexity without having to simmer the dish for hours. Skip the mass-market garam masala and spend a little more on a high-quality blend-or better yet, make your own. And feel free to swap out the vegetables with your favorites-eggplant, cabbage, and broccoli would all work well here.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons neutral oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 1-inch piece ginger, minced or cut into small slices
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
2 small carrots, cut into 1-inch-long sticks
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon soy sauce
One 13.5- to 14-ounce can coconut milk
1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
One 16-ounce package extra-firm tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 ounces dried rice vermicelli
Fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garam masala and turmeric, letting the spices toast and coat the onions, ginger and garlic, for about a minute. Add the peppers, carrots, salt and soy sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are just starting to soften (don't let them cook through, or you'll end up with mushy veggies!), about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and broth to the Dutch oven, turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer, add the tofu; taste and adjust the salt, if necessary. Cover and let cook until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the vermicelli, making sure it gets submerged in the liquid-it'll cook quickly!
  • Garnish with lime juice and chopped cilantro.

THAI TOFU AND GREEN BEAN RED CURRY



Thai Tofu and Green Bean Red Curry image

This is a versatile recipe, where other vegetables or even other meats, such as chicken, could be substituted. If using meat in the recipe, do allow longer simmering time until the meat is cooked through. Shrimp do not need a long cooking time however, and only need to cook until they turn pink and curl. Overcooking them would make them tough. But tofu is best in this recipe, as it absorbs the flavor of the curry paste, and also is very healthy. Recipe by Judy Bastyra. Posted by request.

Categories     Curries

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk

4 kaffir lime leaves, torn
2 -4 fresh hot red chilies or 2 -4 Thai chiles, chopped (amount to taste)
fresh cilantro leaves (coriander)

Steps:

  • Heat approximately 1/3 of the coconut milk in a large pan.
