Vegetarian Thai Green Curry With Tofu Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Vegetarian Thai Green Curry With Tofu Cut all vegetables as specified in the ingredients list

Step 2: except onions

Step 3: Steam all the other vegetables with a light salt

Step 4: I usually pop in all the vegetables in a microwaveable bowl and microwave them for 2 to 3 minutes until they are a little soft tossing them midway to evenly cook them

Step 5: You can also boil these in hot water for about 5 minutes with a little salt

Step 6: Take care to not overcook the vegetables as it will be nice to have a little crunch to the vegetables

Step 7: Once done remove and drain out any excess water and save the water

Step 8: In a pan add a teaspoon of oil and pan fry the cut tofu pieces until they are slightly brown

Step 9: Keep aside

Step 10: Heat a large wok, add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil and sauté the onions till they are light brown

Step 11: Now add 3 tablespoons of the Thai green curry paste and cook for about 2-3 minutes till the paste gets cooked and the aromas are released

Step 12: Next add the 800 ml of coconut milk, soy sauce and brown sugar (or jaggery)

Step 13: Let the entire sauce / gravy come to a boil

Step 14: Taste the sauce

Step 15: It should be spicy (from the Thai green curry paste), sweet (Coconut milk and brown sugar) and have the sufficient amount of salt (soy sauce and salt)

Step 16: Feel free to add more of an ingredient to get it to your taste

Step 17: Add the pre cooked vegetables and the fried tofu to the sauce

Step 18: Garnish with chopped cilantro

Step 19: It will look gorgeous! You can also optionally sprinkle some roasted peanuts (roasted, deskinned and crushed) to get a crunchy texture to the food
