Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
2 (14 ounce) cans light coconut milk
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Wrap tofu in several layers of paper towels. Place in a colander in the sink. Set a plate on top of tofu and weigh down with a large, heavy can. Let stand for at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, shake cans of coconut milk well prior to opening. Pour 1/2 of 1 can into a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in curry paste until well blended. Add eggplant, onion, and bell pepper, stirring well with a rubber spatula to prevent breaking of tender eggplant during cooking.
