THAI CURRY WITH TOFU
My cousin Julie learned this recipe when her sister, Abi, worked in Thailand. Julie throws in whatever vegetables she happens to have on hand, and the results are always outstanding. Instead of tofu, try substituting raw, peeled shrimp or scallops, chicken breasts, or fish fillets. Notice that this recipe does not call for water to hydrate the rice. The coconut milk provides enough liquid to cook the rice and make a wonderful curry sauce. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether you use regular coconut milk or "lite." Thai curry paste comes in yellow, red, and green-each works beautifully in this dish. Try the Mae Ploy brand found at Asian markets. Use more or less to taste; the amount here gives mild to medium heat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with canola oil.
- Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Pour the rice into the pot and smooth into an even layer.
- Arrange the tofu on top of the rice. Top with layers of the zucchini, bamboo shoots, and bell peppers.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce, sugar, paprika, and lime juice. (Be aware that coconut milk separates into liquid and solids when stored; be sure to use the entire contents of the can.) Whisk until the curry paste and sugar are dissolved. Pour the mixture evenly over the contents of the pot.
- Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.

BROTHY THAI CURRY WITH SILKEN TOFU AND HERBS
A jarred red curry paste is the central flavor of this wonderfully restorative and nourishing broth. Coconut milk lends a subtle creaminess, and the cherry tomatoes become bright little jammy bursts. You can use fresh tomatoes when in season, but canned tomatoes do just as well. Ladle the piping hot broth over seasoned tofu pieces and fresh herbs: The delicate silken tofu used here will absorb big flavors from the surrounding liquid.

Steps:
- Pat the tofu blocks dry with a clean kitchen or paper towel. Cut each block into 3 slices.
- Heat a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high. Add the oil and shallots, and stir until softened, 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and curry paste, stir, and cook until fragrant and the paste turns deep red, 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, stir and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the tomato juices thicken slightly, 4 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, stir, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer to slightly reduce the liquid, 10 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, season to taste with salt and remove from the heat.
- While the broth is simmering, divide the soft tofu into 6 bowls. Break each slice into 4 or 5 pieces. Season each bowl of tofu with 2 teaspoons of soy sauce and a few cracks of black pepper, and top with about ¼ cup of the fresh herb mix.
- Ladle the hot broth and tomatoes over the bowls of silken tofu. Top with sliced scallions and serve hot, with lime wedges for squeezing.

Steps:
- Heat 1/2 tbsp of the oil in a large, wide, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the tofu with a pinch of salt for 5 mins, turning every couple of minutes until golden brown. Remove to a plate using a slotted spoon.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan, then fry half the onions for 5 mins, stirring often until golden brown. Add the ginger and garlic paste, stir-frying for a minute, then add the turmeric and cook for another 30 seconds to release the flavour.
- Stir in the coconut milk, then return the tofu to the pan along with the lime juice and 100ml water, and simmer for 5 mins. Stir in the spinach and the coriander, and cook for 1 min until wilted, then season.
- Serve the curry in bowls topped with the coriander leaves and the remaining onion, the lime wedges for squeezing over, and the chapatis on the side.

COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU
This simple weeknight red curry relies on jarred or canned red curry paste for flavor, which you can find at larger supermarkets and specialty markets. Transfer leftover canned curry paste to a jar, top it with a little oil and store in the refrigerator for up to a month. Or freeze for longer storage. Feel free to substitute other vegetables for the mushrooms and snow peas, though you might have to increase the cooking time slightly if using something dense like carrot or cubed winter squash.

- Drain and press the tofu (follow my how to press tofu guide for additional information) to remove excess moisture and water. Once pressed, slice the block into 1-inch cubes and pat with a clean kitchen linen or paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
- Combine the coconut milk, red curry paste, and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking the mixture until smooth. Reduce to low heat. Add the fish sauce and lime leaves. Simmer until thickened and slightly reduced, and keep warm while you prepare the tofu and vegetable mixture. Discard the lime leaves before using.
- While the sauce thickens, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large, non-stick skillet (12-inch diameter) over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tofu pieces and spread into a single layer, setting them apart slightly. Season with salt. Sear the tofu pieces for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, flipping until lightly golden on all sides. Transfer to a large plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and increase to high heat. Add the green beans, a generous pinch of salt, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly blistered. Add the diced ginger, garlic, and jalapeño pepper and sauté for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring frequently, or until fragrant. Add the onion and red bell pepper to the pan, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing frequently, until the green beans are tender and the onion and bell pepper have softened.
