Curried Tofu
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown basmati rice
- 1 package (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and cut into 3/4” cubes
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste (see note)
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 3/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1 large tomato, cut into 3/4” pieces
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Directions:
- Cook the rice according to package directions. Place the tofu between layers of paper towels and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, turning once, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. With a slotted spoon, remove to a plate.
- Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Stir in the curry paste, curry powder, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the broccoli, coconut milk, broth, and peas. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir in the tomato, lime juice, and the reserved tofu. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the tofu is hot. Serve over the rice.
