Tofu 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.

I've fallen in love with This curry cookbook.

The recipes are a bit time-consuming to prepare (just about every meat dish involves extensive marinading), but putting them together is just pure fun, in a mad-scientist sort of way :)

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.

The nice thing about this book is that it assumes you know absolutely nothing. It's got recipes for just about everything you can't pick up at a decent grocery store (I get most of my spices from penzeys which does very nice mail order, but I was doing that pre-curry)
