Chef's Tip
If tofu strips aren’t your preferred shape, feel free to get creative. You can cut the tofu into cubes, slabs, or even matchsticks. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time based on the amount of surface area you’re trying to lightly brown.

Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

  • Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the 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, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
While the rice cooks, prepare the curry ingredients and the tofu.

2

Prep the curry ingredients

  • Peel and thinly slice enough yellow onion to measure 1 cup.
  • Zest the lime. Juice half for the curry and cut half into wedges for garnish.
  • Tear the lime leaves in several places, keeping the leaves whole.
  • Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; coarsely chop the pepper.

3

Sear the tofu

  • Stand the tofu up and cut in half lengthwise to create two ½-inch-thick sheets. Lay the sheets flat and cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick strips.
In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Do not clean the pan.

4

Cook the curry

In the same pan used for the tofu, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the curry paste and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, lime zest, and lime leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the bell pepper, peas, and tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper starts to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice and as much sambal oelek as you like. Discard the lime leaves and season to taste with salt and pepper.
When the curry is almost done, prepare the garnishes.

5

Prep the garnishes

  • Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the cashews.
  • Strip the Thai basil leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.

Serve

Transfer the rice to individual bowls. Top with the curry and garnish with the cashews and basil. Serve with the lime wedges.
