Thai Kabocha Squash Curry
Report
Kabocha, cauliflower, tofu and kale simmer in Thai yellow curry sauce for a scrumptious and satisfying meal. This recipe makes a large amount, and that's intentional--because the only thing better than curry is even more curry for lunch the next day.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 4-6 tablespoons vegetarian yellow curry paste I use Mae Ploy brand; start with less and add more as needed
- 28 ounces light coconut milk 2 14-ounce cans
- 1 to 2 teaspoons coconut or palm sugar optional
- 2 cups peeled and diced kabocha squash*
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 14-ounce package firm tofu, drained and pressed, and cut into ¾-inch cubes
- 4 cups chopped kale
- salt to taste
For serving:
- 3-4 cups hot cooked rice or quinoa
- Thai basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Add the coconut oil to a large sauce pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Heat until melted and hot, about 1 minute. Add the onion and cook, stirring constantly, until it starts to soften, 3-4 minutes. Add the curry paste and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant, stirring constantly to make sure it doesn't burn. Add the coconut milk and the sugar, if using, and stir until smooth.
- Add the kabocha squash and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the kabocha is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cauliflower and tofu. Cover again and cook, stirring once or twice, until the cauliflower is fork tender, about 5 minutes. Gently stir in the kale, being careful not to break up the tofu. Simmer uncovered until kale has wilted, about 3 minutes, then season with salt to taste.
- Serve over rice or quinoa and garnish with Thai basil leaves, if desired.
Notes
- *Kabocha squash may also be labeled as Thai pumpkin, Japanese pumpkin, Danhobak (Korean) or Fak Thong (Thai). You may also substitute banana squash or butternut squash.
