Instructions

  1. Curry: Heat oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium/high heat. Add shallots and ginger, cooking for a few minutes until shallots are translucent. Add curry paste and cook a few minutes more until fragrant. Add coconut milk, bouillon, soy, honey, and chili garlic sauce. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and let simmer while you prepare the rest.
  2. Starch: Prepare rice or rice noodles according to the package instructions.
  3. Tofu: Drain and pat tofu as dry as possible with paper towels. Cut into bite-sized cubes. Heat oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium/high heat, then add the tofu. Cook until sides are slightly browned, then add a few spoonfuls of your curry soup. Cook for a minute or two until the curry has evaporated, then remove the tofu from the pan.
  4. Veggies: Add carrots, cabbage, and snap peas to the pan the tofu was just in, and stir fry over medium/high heat until colors are vibrant, about 3 minutes.
  5. Serve: Combine curry soup, tofu, rice/noodles, and vegetables in the pan, or assemble in individual serving bowls. Optionally, top with Thai basil and sesame seeds.
