Tofu Peanut Curry
Another curry recipe! I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of how many options curry has. I don’t know when or where I’ve eaten peanut curry before, but somehow i just started insanely craving it the other day.
I wanted this to be everything I had imagined so I knew it had to be perfect. Tofu and veggies seemed like the perfect way to when deciding on a pairing for this. Tossing the tofu means you can get it really nice and crispy in the pan, so this is something I would always recommend when you’re frying off tofu.
I chose mange tout and baby corn as I wanted this curry to be colourful and have a nice crunch to it too. If you wanted to swap them out for some other veggies that's fine too, I think tenderstem broccoli or asparagus would go brilliantly too!

Recipe
Yield: 3-4 portions
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
-
1 block tofu (400g)
-
2 tbsp corn flour
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 400g tin coconut milk
-
4 tbsp peanut butter
-
1 tbsp red curry paste
-
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled & grated
-
1 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 red pepper, sliced
-
70g baby corn
-
70g mange tout or super snap peas
To serve:
-
90g uncooked rice per person
-
fresh coriander
Method:
-
Press your tofu by draining all the liquid, wrapping in a clean kitchen cloth and placing a plate and a couple of heavy tins on top to squeeze the moisture out. Leave for about 15 minutes.
-
Cut your tofu into cubes and place into a large bowl. Add your cornflour and toss until evenly covered. Heat up your oil in a large skillet and fry off your tofu until browned and crispy on all sides.
-
At this point if you’re serving your curry with rice you’ll want to start cooking it!
-
Add in your coconut milk, peanut butter, curry paste, ginger, soy sauce, and lime juice. Heat on a medium heat until all your ingredients come together to make a delicious sauce.
-
Add in your sliced pepper, baby corn and mange tout and allow to gently simmer until your veggies are cooked.
-
Serve with a slice of lime and a sprinkling of fresh coriander if you wish!
