Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Press the block of tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.

  3. Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until slightly softened.

  4. Stir in the red curry paste, coating the vegetables evenly and allowing the flavors to bloom for about a minute.

  5. Pour in the can of coconut milk, stirring well to combine with the curry paste and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  6. Add the tofu cubes to the skillet, gently stirring to coat the tofu with the curry-infused coconut milk. Let the curry simmer for about 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  7. Season the curry with soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste preferences. Simmer for an additional few minutes.

  8. Once the tofu is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the skillet from heat.

  9. Serve the Tofu and Coconut Milk Curry over cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro for a vibrant finish.

  10. Enjoy this warm and aromatic dish with your loved ones, savoring the comforting blend of flavors and textures in each bite.
