How to Make Easy Coconut Curry Tofu

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess water. Once pressed, slice into thin pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  3. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom.
  4. Gently stir the tofu and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked and slightly crispy.
  5. While the tofu is cooking, whisk together the coconut milk, cilantro, green curry paste, curry powder, chili sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a bowl.
  6. Add the prepared vegetables to the skillet with the tofu.
  7. Pour the coconut curry sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  8. Serve immediately over brown rice. Garnish with extra fresh cilantro.
