Pf Chang's Coconut Curry Vegetables image

This is a copycat recipe from PF Chang's China Bistro. It's my favorite dish there, and while my dining room lacks the ambiance...this dish is still excellent at home!

Time 40m

Yield 1 stir fry, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons sesame oil
12 ounces package extra firm water-packed tofu
1 small onion, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 small red bell pepper, cubed
1 cup sliced mushrooms
3 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup carrot, thinly sliced
1/2 cup whole sugar snap pea
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar or 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup peanuts

Steps:

  • Drain the tofu, cube and fry in 1 tbsp canola oil until brown. Set aside. (See this thread: http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=170177) I recommend freezing the tofu first to firm up the texture.
  • Separately blanch or steam the broccoli, carrots and sugar snap peas until tender-crisp in plain boiling water.
  • Heat a wok or wide skillet over high heat until hot. Add 1 tbsp canola oil, swirl to glaze the pan, then add the onions and bell pepper. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and stir until hot, a few minutes more. Add the blanched vegetables and and tofu. Toss to mix.
  • Combine the coconut-curry sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust the sugar to your liking.
  • Add the sauce to the pan with the veggies. Bring to a simmer, tossing to combine.
  • Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 1/2 tbsp of water and add to pan. Stir until the sauce turns glossy, about 10 seconds (a bit longer if you're doubling the sauce).
  • Add the peanuts.
  • Serve with rice, noodles, or a warm loaf of bread.
  • Use a milder or hotter curry powder to vary the spice.
  • For a really saucy dish to serve over rice or noodles, double the sauce ingredients and the cornstarch mixture.
