Ingredients
Directions
- Cut firm tofu into bite-sized cubes and press between paper towels to drain excess water.
- In a shallow pan, heat approximately 2 Tablespoons of a mild-tasting oil such as canola to medium high. Add the pressed tofu cubes and allow to cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to soak up excess oil.
- Open the can of coconut milk and scoop the top thicker portion (approximately 1/2 cup) into a large wok. Turn the heat to medium high and allow the coconut milk to cook until it is bubbling and there is an oily film on the surface. This should take approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the yellow curry paste to the separated coconut milk and stir to incorporate. Allow the curry paste and coconut milk mixture to cook until the oily film reappears, being careful not to allow the paste to burn.
- Add the rest of the coconut milk and 1-2 cups of water, depending on the consistency you prefer. Hubby and I prefer a thinner, less rich curry so we add only half a can of coconut milk and more water, but many western Thai restaurants serve a richer, thicker curry.
- Then add the vegetables, starting with the one that takes the longest to cook, and allow to simmer until all of the vegetables are tender but still firm. Add the fried tofu pieces last.
- Taste the curry and adjust the seasonings as necessary. Some curry pastes will already be salty enough and no additional seasoning is needed.
- Serve with a side of warm jasmine rice and cold cucumber relish. Enjoy!
