COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU
This recipe is delicious and something I worked on perfecting over a couple years' time. Feel free to adjust it to your preference, using tofu or chicken (I've done both, but I think the tofu absorbs the sauce better), add the veggies you want, and adjust the red curry paste and Golden Mountain® sauce to your preference. Best served over white jasmine or basmati rice or vermicelli noodles.

Steps:
- Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed according to package directions, 20 to 25 minutes. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and cook until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, bell pepper, and green onions and cook until vegetables are tender and tofu is browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
- While the tofu and vegetables are cooking, combine soy sauce, seasoning sauce, red curry paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, and oyster sauce in a small bowl until well blended.
- Pour 1/2 of the coconut milk over tofu-vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Mix in sauce mixture until combined. Add as much coconut milk until the mixture is about half liquid and half tofu and vegetables; you may not need all the coconut milk. Cook for 5 minutes until everything is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
- Serve curry over jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Tips:
- Use firm or extra-firm tofu for the best texture. Extra-firm tofu holds its shape better and absorbs the marinade more easily.
- Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess water. This will help the tofu absorb the marinade and cook more evenly.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the tofu to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat until it is golden brown and crispy on all sides. This will take about 10 minutes per side.
- Serve the tofu with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney. Some popular options include sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or peanut sauce.
- To make the green jasmine rice, simply cook the jasmine rice according to the package directions and then stir in the chopped green onions, cilantro, and lime zest.
Conclusion:
This coconut curried tofu with green jasmine rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the curry sauce is flavorful and creamy. The green jasmine rice is a perfect accompaniment to the tofu, and it adds a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
