Steps:
- Drain the tofu, cube and fry in 1 tbsp canola oil until brown. Set aside. (See this thread: http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=170177) I recommend freezing the tofu first to firm up the texture.
- Separately blanch or steam the broccoli, carrots and sugar snap peas until tender-crisp in plain boiling water.
- Heat a wok or wide skillet over high heat until hot. Add 1 tbsp canola oil, swirl to glaze the pan, then add the onions and bell pepper. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and stir until hot, a few minutes more. Add the blanched vegetables and and tofu. Toss to mix.
- Combine the coconut-curry sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust the sugar to your liking.
- Add the sauce to the pan with the veggies. Bring to a simmer, tossing to combine.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 1/2 tbsp of water and add to pan. Stir until the sauce turns glossy, about 10 seconds (a bit longer if you're doubling the sauce).
- Add the peanuts.
- Serve with rice, noodles, or a warm loaf of bread.
- Use a milder or hotter curry powder to vary the spice.
- For a really saucy dish to serve over rice or noodles, double the sauce ingredients and the cornstarch mixture.

COCONUT CURRY VEGETABLES
I've been experimenting with this for a while and think I have it now. It's a good extra dish for a crowd of curry eaters like our family. The choice of vegetables is really up to you, but look for colours and textures to make it interesting. I have put baby squash, cauliflower and beans in this at other times.

Steps:
- Heat the oil over medium heat, add the onions and cook until softened but not coloured; about 10 minutes.
- Add the ginger, garlic and chilie and cook a further couple of minutes.
- Add the curry paste, stir and cook a couple of minutes before adding the carrot, sweet potato and pumpkin.
- Add the can of coconut milk and a can of water and allow to cook uncovered until the sauce has reduced and thickened a bit and veg almost cooked. This takes me about 40 minutes.
- Add the can of chickpeas and the softer veggies-broccoli, capsicum and zucchini and cook a further 10 minutes (or to your liking) with a lid on.
- Just before serving, stir through the spinach leaves, lime juice and fresh coriander leaves. Keep stirring gently until the leaves are wilted.
- Serve as part of a curry meal.
