Chef's Tip
Up to 1 day ahead, you can make the curry as directed in Steps 2 and 3 but don’t add the spinach or lime juice; let cool, cover, and refrigerate. The following day, cook the rice; when it’s almost done, rewarm the curry, then stir in the spinach and lime juice just before serving.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

In a small sauce pot, combine the black rice and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
While the rice cooks, make the curry.

2

Prep the curry ingredients

  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon.
  • Grate or peel and finely chop enough ginger to measure 1 teaspoon.
  • Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
  • Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the bell pepper into ¼-inch-wide strips.
  • Trim the stem ends from the mushrooms; thinly slice the mushrooms.
  • Cut the lime in half. Juice half and cut half into wedges for garnish.

3

Cook the curry

In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and curry spice blend and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tofu, bell pepper, and mushrooms, season with salt, and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned and the vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the vegetables have softened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach and simmer until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and season to taste with salt.

Serve

Transfer the rice to individual bowls. Top with the curry and serve with the lime wedges.
