How to Make Red Curry With Tofu Vegetables

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 14 oz (400g) firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed, and cook, stirring every 2-3 minutes, until browned, about 6-8 minutes total.
  3. Transfer the tofu to a plate.
  4. Add 1 lb (450g) sweet potato, peeled and cubed, to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup vegetable broth, and 1-2 tablespoons red Thai curry paste (start with 1 tbsp and add more to taste).
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 4 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.
  7. Add the cooked tofu, 8 oz (225g) trimmed green beans, and 1 teaspoon brown sugar.
  8. Return to a simmer, cover, and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp.
  9. Stir in 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
  10. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges and cooked rice.
