Another CurrySimple recipe
Mar. 15th, 2009 10:05 amTofu Green Curry
1 lb extra firm tofu, thawed, drained, and cut into squares (can marinate in some garlic/ginger/lemonjuice/thai-chili-sauce if you like)
1 cup grape tomatoes (some chopped, some whole)
1 cup green beans cut into 1-inch lengths
2 handfuls fresh baby spinach
1/2 of a medium-sized eggplant, chopped into bite-sized chunks
1/2 a head of broccoli florets (?-- 1 to 2 cups?)
10 dried asian chili peppers
1 1/2 cups CurrySimple Green Curry Sauce
To drain the tofu, cut into planks and wrap in paper towels, set them between 2 cookie sheets (make sure the bottom one has a lip) and weight down with some canned goods for 1/2 hour to an hour.
Heat pan to med-high heat. Add 2-3 tbsp of oil (I used peanut). Add Tofu squares and cook until they start getting golden/seared on the outside. Add chilis, tomatoes, eggplant, cook until eggplant starts to soften and the cut tomatoes start breaking down. Add spinach, broccoli and green beans, stir-fry 3-5 minutes until broccoli and green beans get tender and spinach wilts. Turn down heat to medium, add green curry sauce and stir to warm/coat. Serve over rice.

And the recipes themselves are absolutely delicous. I've done a couple dozen by now and there have only been a couple that haven't worked out.
