Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Slice the bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini. Dice the onion and set all vegetables aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onion

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Curry Paste

    Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook the Tofu

    Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly.

  4. 6

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Add the sliced bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and snap peas. Stir well to combine.

  5. 7

    Simmer

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

  6. 8

    Season the Curry

    Stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, chopped basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve
