COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU
This simple weeknight red curry relies on jarred or canned red curry paste for flavor, which you can find at larger supermarkets and specialty markets. Transfer leftover canned curry paste to a jar, top it with a little oil and store in the refrigerator for up to a month. Or freeze for longer storage. Feel free to substitute other vegetables for the mushrooms and snow peas, though you might have to increase the cooking time slightly if using something dense like carrot or cubed winter squash.

Steps:
- Remove tofu from package and slice horizontally into 5 slices. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set tofu on top. Place more paper towels on top of the tofu and weigh down tofu with a flat and heavy object. Press tofu for at least 1 hour or overnight to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Transfer tofu to a deep dish. Whisk together water, beef base, and hoisin sauce. Pour over tofu and marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Discard marinade and pat tofu dry. Slice tofu into 1-inch cubes and place on the prepared baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Meanwhile, combine spinach, tomatoes, chili sauce, yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, and basil in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth. Refrigerate sauce to cool.
- Meanwhile, bring coconut milk 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, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a good quality red curry paste. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of curry paste to your liking. If you like it spicy, add more paste. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your curry. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Serve the curry over rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the flavorful sauce.
- Garnish the curry with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
