Curry Tofu Ingredients

Jasmine Rice Ingredients

Method

Curry Tofu Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a clay pot or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the Vegetables

    Stir in the sliced red bell pepper, carrot, and diced potato. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Add Tofu and Curry Powder

    Gently fold in the cubed tofu and curry powder, ensuring the tofu is coated with the spices.

  5. 5

    Combine with Liquids

    Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  6. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cover the pot. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the curry is cooked, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Jasmine Rice Directions

  1. 8

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 9

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 10

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving alongside the curry.
