Simple Chicken And Tofu Curry Recipes

THAI COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN AND TOFU

Steps:

• Place tofu onto a towel-lined plate. Top with another folded towel and another plate, and let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours in the refrigerator. Dice and set aside.
• Cook rice according to package directions to make 3 cups cooked. Warm oil over medium heat in a medium pot. Add onion, carrots, bell pepper, garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes or until vegetables start to soften. Add chicken and broth, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
• Add coconut milk, peanut butter, tamari, syrup and curry paste to a glass heat-safe bowl. Warm for 30 seconds in the microwave and stir to combine. Stir into the vegetable mixture. Gently stir in tofu and kale, and serve over cooked rice with desired garnishes.

TOFU CURRY

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 tbsp of the oil in a large, wide, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the tofu with a pinch of salt for 5 mins, turning every couple of minutes until golden brown. Remove to a plate using a slotted spoon.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan, then fry half the onions for 5 mins, stirring often until golden brown. Add the ginger and garlic paste, stir-frying for a minute, then add the turmeric and cook for another 30 seconds to release the flavour.
• Stir in the coconut milk, then return the tofu to the pan along with the lime juice and 100ml water, and simmer for 5 mins. Stir in the spinach and the coriander, and cook for 1 min until wilted, then season.
• Serve the curry in bowls topped with the coriander leaves and the remaining onion, the lime wedges for squeezing over, and the chapatis on the side.
