Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Red Curry Tofu.
Step 1
To start your delicious coconut red curry, grab a saucepan and bring 2 cups of water to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once bubbling, gently stir in 1 cup of jasmine rice.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water.
Step 4
Keep it warm while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 5
Next, heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Carefully add the package of extra-firm tofu, letting it cook until it starts to turn a lovely golden brown, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 7
As the tofu sizzles, toss in 4 cloves of minced garlic and let them cook for another minute until your kitchen fills with that irresistible aroma.
Step 8
Now it’s time to add some color and crunch! Stir in 2 chopped medium carrots, 1 diced green bell pepper, and 3 chopped green onions.
Step 9
Cook everything together for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the tofu is beautifully browned.
Step 10
While your tofu and veggies are cooking, let’s whip up a flavorful sauce.
Step 11
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of seasoning sauce, 1 tablespoon of red curry paste, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce.
Step 12
Mix it all together until it’s well blended and ready to elevate your dish.
Step 13
Once the tofu and vegetables are perfectly cooked, pour half of a 13.
Step 14
5-ounce can of coconut milk over the mixture, stirring to combine everything.
Step 15
Then, add your prepared sauce and mix until every piece is well coated.
Step 16
If you prefer a creamier texture, gradually stir in more coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 17
Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 18
Finally, it’s time to serve! Spoon the luscious coconut red curry over your fluffy jasmine rice and finish it off with a sprinkle of 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro for that vibrant touch.
Step 19
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s not only satisfying but also a feast for the senses!.
