Coconut Red Curry with Tofu image

This recipe is delicious and something I worked on perfecting over a couple years' time. Feel free to adjust it to your preference, using tofu or chicken (I've done both, but I think the tofu absorbs the sauce better), add the veggies you want, and adjust the red curry paste and Golden Mountain® sauce to your preference. Best served over white jasmine or basmati rice or vermicelli noodles.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups water
1 cup jasmine rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
2 medium carrots, chopped, or more to taste
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
3 medium green onions, chopped, or more to taste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon seasoning sauce (such as Golden Mountain®)
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk, or as needed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed according to package directions, 20 to 25 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and cook until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, bell pepper, and green onions and cook until vegetables are tender and tofu is browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While the tofu and vegetables are cooking, combine soy sauce, seasoning sauce, red curry paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, and oyster sauce in a small bowl until well blended.
  • Pour 1/2 of the coconut milk over tofu-vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Mix in sauce mixture until combined. Add as much coconut milk until the mixture is about half liquid and half tofu and vegetables; you may not need all the coconut milk. Cook for 5 minutes until everything is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  • Serve curry over jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
