Spicy, creamy Thai red curry with vegetables and tofu.

Provided by Anibas

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups coconut milk
½ cup water, or more as needed
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 small zucchini, chopped
2 medium red bell peppers, cut into long, thin strips
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 teaspoons soft brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained

Steps:

  • Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid. Cut tofu into cubes.
  • Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add tofu and saute, stirring occasionally, until nicely colored on all sides and moisture has cooked off, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, combine coconut milk, 1/2 cup water, and curry paste in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add onion; boil for 3 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, reduce heat to medium, and cook until potatoes are nearly cooked, about 8 minutes. Add zucchini and bell peppers; simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup more water if curry is too thick.
  • Cut bamboo shoots in half and discard any tough ends. Add to the curry with the basil. Add brown sugar and lime juice; taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in tofu.

I followed the recipe but my curry turned out a bit too watery. I think I added too much coconut milk.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I think I just added too much chili paste. Next time I'll use less.

I used a store-bought curry paste and it still turned out great. This is a really versatile recipe.

I'm not a vegetarian, but this dish was so good I didn't miss the meat at all.
