This comforting Green Curry with Tofu and Vegetables is an as easy weeknight meal. Who needs take-out when you can make it yourself!
One of my favorite things to eat is Thai curry. I have tried many different curries - red, green, yellow, sweet, and spicy. Green is by far my favorite.
It's the dish I always order at a Thai restaurant. This Green Curry with Tofu and Vegetables is rich and comforting. It's so easy to make, why would you want to order takeout?
For those of you who are vegan or vegetarian, make sure you read the label of the curry paste (which I'm sure you're used to doing anyway). Some contain fish sauce.
Instructions
- Drain and press the tofu. Slice into cubes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed tofu. Cook until browned, turning as it cooks. Remove and set aside.
- Chop vegetables so they are ready. Turn the skillet that you used for the tofu on medium heat.
- Add olive oil and curry paste. Cook for about a minute. Add garlic.
- Next add vegetables, green onion, serrano pepper, coconut milk, and brown sugar. Cook until tender, stirring as it cooks to dissolve the curry paste and brown sugar.
- Return the tofu to the pan, and cook just until heated through.
- Serve over brown rice noodles or rice.
