Follow The Directions

01

Step

Combine cubed tofu and 3 tablespoons of light soy sauce in a small bowl. Marinate for at least 20 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb the savory flavor. (20 minutes)

02

Step

Carefully scoop out the thick, solid coconut cream from the top of the coconut milk can. Heat the coconut cream in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the Thai red curry paste and stir-fry for approximately 2 minutes, until fragrant and the paste is well-incorporated. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Add the marinated tofu, broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, sliced leek, and carrot matchsticks to the wok. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are lightly coated with the curry paste mixture. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Pour in the remaining coconut milk from the can. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Season the curry with additional soy sauce, lemon juice, and a pinch of white sugar to balance the flavors. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to achieve your desired level of saltiness, acidity, and sweetness.

Adjust spiciness: Be cautious with the amount of Thai red curry paste you use, as its spiciness can vary significantly between brands. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
Vegetable substitutions: This recipe is incredibly versatile. Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, snap peas, or zucchini.
Tofu preparation: For extra crispy tofu, press it before marinating to remove excess water.

    The tip about starting with less curry paste is spot on! I accidentally added too much the first time I made this, but now it's perfect.

  • Esther Leannon

    I never thought of using the coconut cream separately like that, it made the curry so much richer!

  • Carroll Bradtke

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! I love how easily I can customize it with whatever veggies I have on hand.
