Vegan Coconut Curry with tofu, curry paste and coconut milk — Thailand recipe

🇹🇭ThailandAdvanced

Vegetable and Mushroom Dishes

Vegan Coconut Curry

Crispy-edged tofu and vegetables simmered in a fragrant coconut-and-curry-paste sauce, finished with lime juice and fresh herbs. The kind of dish that makes your kitchen smell extraordinary and tastes like it took much longer than it did. The curry paste does most of the flavor work — frying it in oil first releases the aromatics fully before the coconut milk goes in, which is the step that transforms a flat-tasting sauce into something layered and complex. Serve over jasmine rice with extra lime and a scatter of Thai basil.
