Vegetable And Tofu Red Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Combine tofu and 3 tablespoons soy sauce in a small bowl and marinate for about 20 minutes.
• Remove the solid top layer of coconut cream from the coconut milk can and heat in a wok over medium heat. Add curry paste and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add tofu, broccoli, mushrooms, leek, and carrot and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Pour in remaining coconut milk and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Season with soy sauce, lemon juice, and sugar.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles as the label directs. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns deep red, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in the coconut milk, ginger and brown sugar. Increase the heat to high and bring to a vigorous simmer. Stir in the squash, haricots verts and bell pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the squash is just tender and the beans and bell pepper are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the fish sauce and season with salt. Stir in the tofu and cook, uncovered, until warmed through, about 1 minute. Divide the noodles and curry mixture among bowls. Top with basil and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Cut tofu into 1-inch slabs and place on paper towel-lined baking sheet. Cover with another layer of paper towels and place another baking sheet on top. Let sit for 20 minutes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ginger, shallots, garlic, chile and cilantro stems, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Stir in curry paste and cook 2 minutes. Pour in coconut milk, scraping up any curry paste with a wooden spoon. Add fish sauce, lime zest and juice. Add tofu cubes and snow peas. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and the snow peas are tender, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Taste and add more salt and/or fish sauce if needed.
• Serve warm with brown rice and a scattering of torn basil and/or cilantro leaves on top.

Steps:

• Whizz the paste ingredients in a food processor. Marinate the tofu in 2 tbsp soy sauce, juice 1 lime and the chopped chilli.
• Heat half the oil in a large pan. Add 3-4 tbsp paste and fry for 2 mins. Stir in the coconut milk with 100ml water, the courgette, aubergine and pepper and cook for 10 mins until almost tender.
• Drain the tofu, pat dry, then fry in the remaining oil in a small pan until golden.
• Add the mushrooms, sugar snaps and most of the basil to the curry, then season with the sugar, remaining lime juice and soy sauce. Cook for 4 mins until the mushrooms are tender, then add the tofu and heat through. Scatter with sliced chilli and basil and serve with jasmine rice.

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet (I use my nonstick wok) over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring every 2-3 minutes, until browned, about 6-8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add coconut milk, broth and curry paste to taste. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is just tender, about 4 minutes.
• Add the tofu, green beans and brown sugar; return to a simmer and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender-crisp, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in lime juice and salt. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges, over rice if desired.

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• While the rice is cooling, slice tofu and place on a plate with cloth napkins or paper towels between the slices. Place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard any accumulated liquid.
• Heat a dry, nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add tofu and cook slowly, pressing with a spatula to release any remaining liquid, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove and set aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onion, and remaining 1/4 cup water; cook, tossing frequently, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add coconut milk and curry paste; simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add tofu and toss to combine.
• Serve over warm rice. Squeeze lime juice over top and garnish with basil.

Steps:

• Rinse rice briefly in a sieve and drain, shaking sieve to remove excess water. Bring rice and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over high heat, then cover pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook rice over low heat until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook onion in oil in a wide 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate, then add garlic and curry paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Stir in vegetables and return to a boil. Cover pot, then reduce heat and cook at a brisk simmer, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Gently stir in tofu and simmer curry, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove pot from heat and stir in fish sauce and salt to taste. Serve curry with rice.

Steps:

• Heat approximately 1/3 of the coconut milk in a large pan.
• When it starts to separate (an oily sheen will appear on the surface), add the curry paste, fish sauce, and sugar and stir to mix well.
• Add the cleaned mushrooms and cook 1 minute.
• Pour in the rest of the coconut milk and bring to a boil.
• Add the green beans and tofu, then reduce heat, and simmer gently for about 4-5 minutes.
• Add the kaffir lime leaves and hot chillies.
• Garnish with cilantro before serving.
• Serve with hot cooked rice, if desired.
