Tofu Green Curry (vegan)


This one was a true experiment with delish results.  I wasn't sure what I would be bringing to my taste testers tomorrow, but this one worked out really nicely.  I think I'm finally getting the hang of tofu.

I found a package of pre-made green curry and decided to give it a try. I bought Real Thai, but you can try any pre-made one you like. This one had some veggies already in it and was mild on the spice.


You will need:
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 package of firm tofu
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. chili sauce (the really hot stuff)
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 can baby cobs of corn
  • Vegetable oil
  • Cooked Basmatti rice
First, I marinated in the tofu for at least 8 hours in the soy sauce, chili sauce, olive oil and garlic.  I cut the tofu up into tiny cubes.  After marinating, I baked the tofu in the oven for 20 minutes or so in a 350F oven.  I stirred every so often.

Saute the pepper and onion in the veggie oil.  Add the pre-made curry and baby corn.  Bring to a boil. Spoon over cooked rice and add baked tofu on top.

It was fast and easy and turned out really good.  It is a good weeknight meal.
