Steps:

Place water in a medium saucepan, and stir in the rice. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and fluff with a fork.
Heat the sesame oil in a separate medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in tofu. Stirring occasionally, fry about 20 minutes, until evenly crisp and lightly browned. Season with salt.
In a small saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil. Mix in green curry paste. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Drizzle generously over the tofu and rice to serve.

GREEN CURRY GLAZED TOFU

To make crispy, flavorful tofu without having to press it first, use this smart method from Andrea Nguyen, the author of "Asian Tofu" (Ten Speed Press, 2012) and other cookbooks: Warm the tofu in a pan with a small amount of flavorful sauce. As it cooks, it will dry out and absorb the flavors of the sauce. Next, you add oil to the pan, which crisps the tofu. In Ms. Nguyen's recipe, soy sauce is used, but here, the aromatics in Thai green curry paste and the sugars in coconut milk toast and caramelize on the tofu. Once the tofu has a deep-brown crust, remove it, sear a quick-cooking vegetable in the same pan, then reduce the remaining curry-coconut mixture into a fragrant, sweet-and-spicy glaze.

Steps:

Cut the tofu in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 6 sections. (You'll have 12 squares total.) Transfer to a towel-lined plate and pat dry, then sprinkle with salt.
Transfer the coconut milk to a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, add the green curry paste, stir with a fork until smooth, then season to taste with salt. (Be aware that some curry pastes are quite salty.)
Arrange the tofu in an even layer in a large (12-inch) nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. Pour 2 tablespoons coconut-curry mixture over the tofu and flip the tofu to coat. Set the skillet over medium-high and cook tofu without flipping until the skillet is dry and the undersides of the tofu are speckled golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the oil, swirl to coat, then flip the tofu. Cook until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, then flip once more until the remaining side is browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, adding additional oil as needed. Transfer to a plate.
If the skillet is dry, add more oil, over medium-high, then add the vegetables, season with salt, and cook, without stirring, until charred underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the remaining coconut-curry mixture and boil, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the liquid has thickened to a glaze, 4 to 5 minutes. (The sauce is ready when a spoon dragged across the bottom of the skillet leaves a trail.) Turn off the heat, stir in the lime juice, then add the tofu and gently stir to coat. Season to taste with salt. Eat on top of rice.

Ingredients

1 (14- to 16-ounce) block extra-firm tofu
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk
3 to 4 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
1 tablespoon neutral or coconut oil, plus more as needed
2 cups chopped vegetables, such as snap or snow peas, asparagus, broccoli, kale, fennel or corn kernels or a combination (see Tip)

Cooked rice or another grain, for serving

Start preparing our green curry with tofu recipe by pressing and draining the block of tofu. For tofu curry, you need to remove any excess water and, for the best results, you can use a tofu press. You can also wrap your tofu in paper towels, then press down with a heavy kitchen object such as a chopping board. Leave your tofu to press for 20 mins.
When your tofu is pressed, chop it up into small, bite-size cubes. Heat a tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet, then brown your cubes of tofu on all sides until they are crispy all over. Remove the tofu from the skillet, and set aside.
The next step in our Thai green curry tofu recipe is to chop your onions, mince your garlic, then saute them in avocado oil in the skillet for 2 mins.
Chop your zucchini and red bell peppers (and any chilis you have for your tofu Thai green curry) and add them to the skillet too. Sautee for a further 2 mins.
