Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tbsp peanut oil canola or vegetable oil works too
  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu pressed for 30 minutes (you can use a tofu press), cut into triangles
  • 13.5 oz coconut milk unsweetened, canned, light
  • ¼ cup Thai red curry paste
  • ¾ cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 red bell pepper medium, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb asparagus tough ends removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • rice for serving, or rice noodles, cooked
  • lime for garnish, wedges
  • cilantro for garnish, leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat peanut oil in large wok or skillet over medium high heat. Add tofu triangles and cook for 5 minutes; flip tofu over and cook 5 minutes more on other side. Place tofu on a plate lined with paper towels (to soak up excess oil) and wipe out skillet (carefully!).
  2. Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add ½ cup of coconut milk and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 2 minutes). Stir in red curry paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add remaining coconut milk, broth, soy sauce, and sugar. Once sauce comes to a simmer, add red pepper; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in asparagus and cook 3 minutes more.
  4. Return tofu to skillet and stir until coated with curry sauce.
  5. Remove from heat and serve over noodles or rice; garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.
