Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1, 14- ounce to 16-ounce (400 g to 455 g block) of extra-firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or Garlic-Infused Oil, (made with vegetable oil, or purchased equivalent, divided)
  • ¼ cup (16 g) chopped scallions, (green parts only)
  • 1 tablespoon Casa de Sante’s Thai Curry Seasoning
  • 2 medium beefsteak tomatoes, (cored and chopped)
  • 8 ounces (225 g) fresh green beans, (trimmed)
  • 1, 14.5 ounce (403 ml) can lite coconut milk or preferably 14-ounces UHT coconut milk, (well stirred if canned)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Cilantro, (optional)

Instruction

  • Cut the tofu block in half lengthwise. Place a triple layer of paper towel on a cutting board, place tofu slabs on top, then cover them with another triple layer of towel. Put something heavy on top, like another cutting board with a heavy pot on top. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes. This technique will remove excess water from the tofu so that it will fry up with a nice crisp outer texture.
  • Once tofu has drained, discard paper towels and cut tofu into cubes.
  • Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the ghee or oil (use oil for a vegan version) and heat until oil is shimmering. Add tofu and increase heat to medium-high. Cook undisturbed for a few minutes or until tofu is browned on the bottoms, then toss around and continue to cook until nicely browned. Remove from pan and set aside, keeping warm.
  • Add remaining tablespoon of ghee or oil to the pan over medium heat. Add scallions and sauté for about a minute or 2 until softened but not browned. Add Thai curry powder and stir around for 30 seconds, then add tomatoes and green beans and toss to coat, then coconut milk and stir everything around together well. Adjust heat, partially cover and simmer for about 3 minutes, then stir in tofu to coat with sauce and simmer for 5 more minutes or until heated through. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Your curry is ready to serve with or without a garnish of cilantro. And we like this best with rice.
