GREEN CURRY GLAZED TOFU



Green Curry Glazed Tofu image

To make crispy, flavorful tofu without having to press it first, use this smart method from Andrea Nguyen, the author of "Asian Tofu" (Ten Speed Press, 2012) and other cookbooks: Warm the tofu in a pan with a small amount of flavorful sauce. As it cooks, it will dry out and absorb the flavors of the sauce. Next, you add oil to the pan, which crisps the tofu. In Ms. Nguyen's recipe, soy sauce is used, but here, the aromatics in Thai green curry paste and the sugars in coconut milk toast and caramelize on the tofu. Once the tofu has a deep-brown crust, remove it, sear a quick-cooking vegetable in the same pan, then reduce the remaining curry-coconut mixture into a fragrant, sweet-and-spicy glaze.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14- to 16-ounce) block extra-firm tofu
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk
3 to 4 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
1 tablespoon neutral or coconut oil, plus more as needed
2 cups chopped vegetables, such as snap or snow peas, asparagus, broccoli, kale, fennel or corn kernels or a combination (see Tip)
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
Cooked rice or another grain, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the tofu in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 6 sections. (You'll have 12 squares total.) Transfer to a towel-lined plate and pat dry, then sprinkle with salt.
  • Transfer the coconut milk to a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, add the green curry paste, stir with a fork until smooth, then season to taste with salt. (Be aware that some curry pastes are quite salty.)
  • Arrange the tofu in an even layer in a large (12-inch) nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. Pour 2 tablespoons coconut-curry mixture over the tofu and flip the tofu to coat. Set the skillet over medium-high and cook tofu without flipping until the skillet is dry and the undersides of the tofu are speckled golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the oil, swirl to coat, then flip the tofu. Cook until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, then flip once more until the remaining side is browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, adding additional oil as needed. Transfer to a plate.
  • If the skillet is dry, add more oil, over medium-high, then add the vegetables, season with salt, and cook, without stirring, until charred underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the remaining coconut-curry mixture and boil, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the liquid has thickened to a glaze, 4 to 5 minutes. (The sauce is ready when a spoon dragged across the bottom of the skillet leaves a trail.) Turn off the heat, stir in the lime juice, then add the tofu and gently stir to coat. Season to taste with salt. Eat on top of rice.

Categories     Lunch Recipes

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cilantro (leaves and stems)
2 fresh lemongrass stalks, bottom 4 inches only, thinly sliced
1/3 cup fresh Thai or regular basil leaves
5 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, chopped
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 fresh green Thai chiles, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 fresh or frozen kaffir lime leaves (optional)
1 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Blend all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use firm or extra-firm tofu: This will help the tofu hold its shape and absorb the flavors of the curry.
  • Press the tofu before cooking: This will help remove excess moisture and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Marinate the tofu: Marinating the tofu in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic powder will help add flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to the curry. Some good choices include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender but still have a bit of a crunch.
  • Use a good quality green curry paste: This is the base of the curry and will determine the flavor. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of heat and flavor.
  • Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the curry with rice or noodles: This will help soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Thai green curry with tofu and vegetables is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a Thai green curry that is sure to impress your family and friends.
