Thai Red Curry Bowl With Crispy Tofu
This dish never fails to cheer me up. Crispy tofu is coated in Thai red curry paste and served over jasmine rice with a fragrant coconut broth, crunchy veg and a squeeze of lime. It’s full of bold, warming flavours and easy enough to make midweek.
Ingredients
For the tofu:
- Thai red curry paste
- dark soy sauce, or tamari for GF
- vegetable oil
- block of extra-firm tofu, drained
To serve:
- carrot
- sugar snap peas, thinly sliced
- salt + pepper
- lime
- thumb of fresh ginger, finely chopped
- garlic cloves, finely chopped
- Thai red curry paste
- low-salt vegetable stock
- fl oz, tin of coconut milk
- jasmine rice
- fresh coriander, leaves picked
Method

To serve, divide the rice between bowls, top with the crispy tofu and pour over the coconut broth. Add the carrot salad and coriander, then slice the remaining lime piece into two wedges and serve alongside.
