Vegetable Tofu Curry

Coconut Brown Rice

Method

Vegetable Tofu Curry

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add More Vegetables

    Add the diced bell pepper, sliced carrot, and diced zucchini to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tofu

    Add the cubed tofu to the pan, stirring gently to combine with the vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tofu is slightly golden.

  5. 5

    Add the Sauce

    Pour in the coconut milk, curry powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  6. 6

    Simmer

    Cover and let the curry simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the curry is ready, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot over coconut brown rice.

Coconut Brown Rice

  1. 8

    Rinse the Rice

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

  2. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed brown rice, coconut milk, water, and salt.

  3. 10

    Cook the Rice

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  4. 11

    Fluff and Serve

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