Thai Red Curry/Coconut Tofu with Jasmine Rice

Today I decided to make one of most favorite dishes. Thai Red Curry/Coconut Tofu with peppers and Jasmine Rice.
Again, I make enough to feed an Army, but you can downsize. This dish is also one of those that you have to play around with a bit. The Red Curry is added to your taste. As well as the Lemongrass. I'll just tell you how I made mine today & then you can find your own way when you make it for yourself.

In a large pan, first make the sauce

Red Curry/Coconut Sauce
3 Cans of Coconut Milk
4 oz. Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste
4 oz. Gourmet Garden Organic Lemongrass Paste
1 tsp. Sea Salt
The juice of 1 large, or 2 small Limes
2 tsp. cornstarch (dissolved with a little water in a small bowl, before you add it to the sauce)

The Thai Kitchen brand of Red Curry paste has Lemongrass, & Lime included, (in addition to other ingredients) but I like to add even more. You can use your own judgement on this. Some don't find it necessary to add anything but the Red Curry. But make sure if you don't use this brand, that you make sure whatever brand you do use is Vegan. Most Red Curry Pastes have Fish Oil in them.

Also, I like to use the Gourmet Garden Organic Lemongrass paste instead of fresh, only because it's easier. Again, if you prefer to do it yourself & use fresh...go ahead! :o)

I like to let this simmer together for a bit, taste testing. This is the time to add more curry or lemongrass. Remember, you can always add more...NOT remove! So go slow!

When your sauce is where you like it add

1 each of Red, Yellow, and Orange Pepper. Sliced into strips.
2 lbs. Extra Firm Tofu. Water squeezed out and cut into pieces.

Simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

While that is simmering, make your Jasmine Rice

Any one you like will do. Just prepare to your choices directions.

For mine I do 1 cup uncooked Rice, to 2 cups water.
Put in pan together, stir, bring to a boil, then uncover & simmer for 15 minutes or so. Fluff with a fork. Cover until you are ready to use.

I like to only make up enough rice for one meal at a time so it doesn't get dried out.

Again, this is one of those dishes that will get better & better as it sits.

ENJOY!!
