Tofu In Spiced Coconut Sauce Vegan Recipes

Steps:

• Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Purée coconut milk, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, salt, sugar, turmeric, coriander, and cayenne in a blender until smooth.
• Squeeze tofu over a medium bowl or sink with your hands, gently at first, then more firmly to expel as much water as possible (like squeezing out a big sponge). Don't worry if it starts to crack apart. When no more liquid comes out, tear tofu into 2" pieces; discard liquid. Place in a shallow 13x9" baking dish. Add cabbage and carrots, arrange in an even layer, and pour sauce over.
• Bake, basting the vegetables and tofu halfway through, until carrots are fork-tender, most of the liquid is evaporated, and the top is golden brown and lightly charred in places, 40-45 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Top with coconut chips (if using). Serve with rice and lime wedges alongside (if using).

Steps:

• After preparing and cubing the tofu for cooking, sprinkle with seasoning and lemon juice and marinate for an hour (optional) and then cook in a pot with oil until lightly brown.
• Add onions and garlic, cook for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the tofu, onions, and garlic to a bowl, leaving some oil behind. Add tomato puree to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring thoroughly. Add the thyme, cinnamon, coriander and hot pepper and stir well.
• Blend the corn (reserving 1 tbsp for later) with the coconut milk in a blender or food processor. Add to the pan and simmer until reduced. Add the prawns and reserved corn, and simmer for 5 minutes. Also add the water chestnuts now if you'd like. Serve hot, garnished with coriander and over a bed of white rice if you prefer. Enjoy! :).
