About this recipe

This Thai green curry with tofu is a light, fragrant one-pan dinner packed with colourful vegetables and plant protein. A splash of coconut milk and fresh lime make it feel indulgent while staying balanced and fit.

Method

  1. 1

    Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into cubes and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Heat the coconut oil in a pan and sauté the tofu until golden on all sides, then set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the green curry paste to the same pan and fry for a minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in the coconut milk and tamari, then bring to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Add the zucchini, bell pepper, green beans and broccoli, and simmer until tender-crisp.

  6. 6

    Return the tofu to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes so it soaks up the sauce.

  7. 7

    Stir in the basil, finish with a squeeze of lime and serve over jasmine rice.

Tips

  • Always choose a vegan green curry paste, as many contain shrimp paste or fish sauce.
  • Press the tofu well for a firmer, meatier texture that holds its shape while cooking.
  • Add the lime only at the very end to keep the sauce fresh and bright.
