Ingredients
- 13.5 fluid ounces coconut milk
- 1.5 tablespoon yellow curry paste see notes
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 potato small cubes
- 1/2 carrot small cubes
- 1/2 onion sliced
- 7 ounces tofu cubed, firm
Instructions
- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes. Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the tofu cubes, turning occasionally, until they’re crisp.
- Pour a quarter of the coconut milk into a large wok or pot. Allow the milk to reduce, stirring occasionally. When you notice the oil beginning to separate from the milk, proceed to the next step.
- Add the yellow curry paste to the reduced coconut milk. Cook and stir until the mixture becomes aromatic.
- Add the remaining coconut milk, palm sugar, salt, potatoes, carrots, and onions. Reduce the heat to low and let the curry gently simmer for about 8 minutes, or until the vegetables and potatoes are tender.
- Add the fried tofu, stir to combine, and then remove from the heat. Serve immediately with rice. Enjoy!
