Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 400 gram firm tofu
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 1 large carrot sliced into coins
  • 1 bunch broccoli broken into florets
  • 1/2 head cauliflower broken into florets
  • 1 medium zucchini diced
  • 200 grams sugar snap peas about 1 cup chopped
  • 1 can baby corn drained and diced
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey or other liquid sweetener
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 Thai red chile

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large (large!) heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Place the entire block of tofu in the middle of the pan, moving it around to ensure it's well covered in oil. Sear for about 5 minutes on each of the largest sides, until crisp and golden. Remove the tofu from the pan onto a plate lined with a paper towel.
  • Add the diced red onion to the same pan, adding a bit more oil if needed. Stir-fry until the onion is just translucent. 
  • Add the carrot coins, cauliflower, and broccoli florets, continue to fry, stirring frequently (they call it stir-fry for a reason!) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the diced zucchini, sugar snap peas, and baby corn, and continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes. At this point the vegetables should be brightly coloured, golden in some places, and cooked but still crisp.
  • In a small bowl whisk the red curry paste together with a few tablespoons of the coconut milk and the honey. Add the remaining coconut milk and whisk to combine well. 
  • Cube the seared block of tofu, and toss it into the stir-fry with the vegetables.
  • Add the coconut sauce and stir well - be careful, your pan may be VERY full at this point - continuing to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until everything is heated through and the sauce is bubbling. 
  • Season with a sprinkle of salt and a good squeeze of lime juice. Taste, and adjust the seasonings if necessary. 
  • Serve hot, spooned over bowls of brown rice. Garnish with cilantro and chili slices.
