Tofu Curry (So simple!)
Hey BB Fam, last Thursday I was craving my tofu recipes again. There was a month where all I wanted was tofu so I went on Pinterest and all these food recipe websites to find a recipe that would suit what I had on deck. This is one of my go-to tofu recipes because it’s super easy to put together and it’s full of flavor. Can go well with rice, noodles, or by itself!
Ingredients:
* 1 tbsp canola oil
* 2 gloves garlic
* 1/2 onion
* 1 tsp fresh ginger
* 1 red (or green) chili, chopped
* 10 oz firm tofu, cut into little cubes
* 1 large carrot, grated ( I bought them pre-grated)
* 1 tsp cumin
* 1 tsp paprika
* 1 tsp salt
* 1/2 can coconut milk
* 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
* 1/2 lemon juice
* 2 tbsp red curry paste (or whatever color paste you have )
* 2 tbsp tamari
* 4 cups spinach or kale
Instructions:
* Pour the canola oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the garlic, chilies and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant
* Add the onion and fresh ginger, sautéing for 2 more minutes until they begin to soften
* Add the squared tofu and grated carrot, stirring to combine everything, add the cumin, paprika, and salt ( I also added curry powder). Continue to sautés for 3-4 minutes over medium heat
* Pour the coconut milk together with the chopped tomatoes, lemon juice, and curry paste. Simmer, stirring frequently, over medium heat for 7-8 minutes until the sauce is thick and rich
* At the last minute, add the tamarind and spinach/kale. Serve with rice or noodles.
