Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 (14-oz.) package firm or extra-firm tofu, patted dry, cut into 1/2" cubes
Kosher salt
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup red curry paste
2 large zucchini, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 large or 2 small Japanese eggplant, cut into 1/2" pieces
8 oz. green beans, trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
1 (13.5-oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk
Lime wedges, cilantro leaves with tender stems, and coarsely chopped salted, roasted peanuts (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high. Add tofu in a single layer and cook, turning over once, until cooked sides are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Season with kosher salt.
  • Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot or high-sided skillet over medium-high. Add onions and a generous pinch of salt and stir to coat. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in curry paste and cook, stirring often, until darkened in color, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini, eggplant, and green beans and cook, tossing to coat, until vegetables are softened and starting to brown in spots, 5-7 minutes. Pour in coconut milk and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer.
  • Add tofu to pot and stir gently to combine. Cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with more salt if needed.
  • Divide curry among bowls and add a generous squeeze of lime juice to each. Top with cilantro and peanuts.

This curry was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added more spices.
