ingredients
Steps
Prepare Tofu
Press excess water from the tofu using paper towels, then cut into 2 cm cubes. Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Build the Base
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Cook the Curry
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release its aromas. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring until smooth. Add the tamari, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add Broccoli & Tofu
Add the broccoli florets to the sauce and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp. Stir the fried tofu cubes back into the curry and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through. Finally, stir in the fresh lime juice.
Serve
Serve immediately and hot with freshly cooked basmati rice. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Extra Tips
► For extra crispy tofu, toss it with a little cornstarch before frying.
► If you like it spicier, add a pinch of chili flakes along with the curry paste.
► Serve with fresh lime wedges and extra cilantro for an even more vibrant flavor.
