Ingredients
Scale
14 oz (400g) firm tofu, pressed and cubed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2–3 tablespoons green curry paste
1 can (13.5 oz or 400ml) coconut milk
1 cup vegetable broth
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1/2 cup bamboo shoots, optional
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup Thai basil leaves
Steamed jasmine rice
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil along with the green curry paste. Fry for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Slowly pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth while stirring to combine with the curry paste.
Add the sliced bell peppers and carrot to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender.
Return the tofu to the skillet along with bamboo shoots (if using), soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, letting all flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and Thai basil leaves. Adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or lime juice if needed.
Spoon your Vegetarian Thai Green Curry over steamed jasmine rice and enjoy!
