Ingredients

For the Curry:
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons green curry paste (gluten-free)
  • 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
  • 200g firm tofu, cubed
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 100g baby corn, halved
  • 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce (gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
For Serving:
  • Jasmine rice, cooked according to package instructions
  • Lime wedges
  • Red chili slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by preparing all your ingredients—cubing the tofu, slicing the vegetables, and having lime juice and sauces ready.

  2. Heat Oil and Curry Paste: In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the green curry paste and stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the curry paste is well incorporated into the liquid.

  4. Cook Tofu: Gently add the cubed tofu to the pan. Simmer for about 5 minutes to allow it to absorb some of the flavors.

  5. Add Vegetables: Stir in the bell pepper, zucchini, baby corn, and cherry tomatoes. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, approximately 10-12 minutes.

  6. Season the Curry: Add fish sauce or soy sauce and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes to meld flavors together.

  7. Serve: Serve the curry hot over jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with lime wedges and red chili slices on the side, if desired.
