COCONUT LIME TOFU from my “15 in 15” series sharing 15 quick dinner recipes in under 15 minutes! Resharing this timeless classic from my archives because, real talk, Jr has been unwell for close to a week now and I haven’t had time to breathe, let alone edit all the lovely new recipes I have planned & filmed for you. So bear with me and until then, let’s remake the one dish I’m craving most through these not-so-cheery days. PS let me know if you’d like all my best tofu recipes and I’d be happy to share them via DM ! Gently heat 1-2 tbsp of sesame oil/ any oil of choice in a pan. Pan-fry silken-firm/ firm tofu slices until golden brown on both sides (flipping half way). Optional: - coat the tofu slices lightly in corn flour for a more crisp and golden texture. - If using silken-firm tofu, it is recommended to wrap the block between kitchen towels (placing a small saucepan on top). Let it sit for 10-15 minutes or so to drain out the excess water. Then pat tofu dry with clean kitchen towels and slice it. Remove the tofu and set aside. In the same pan, stir in: - 1 tbsp sesame oil - 1/2 onion, sliced - 3-4 cloves of garlic , minced - Knob of ginger, grated - 1-2 tbsp red curry paste (let me know if you want my homemade paste recipe) - 1-2 tbsp sriracha/ hot sauce Stir it together and once fragrant, add 250-300 ml coconut milk , then stir in: - 1-2 tsp brown sugar - 1-2 tbsp light soy sauce - Juice of 1/2 - 1 lemon or lime (adjust according to preference, adding more for zing) Once simmering, add back your cooked tofu. Garnish with scallions & sesame seeds, serve over rice and DIVE IN #quickrecipes #dinnerrecipes #tofurecipes dinnerinspo vegetarianprotein {quick dinners, easy dinner recipes, tofu recipes, coconut tofu, coconut recipes , easy meal ideas, easy dinner inspiration
