Ingredients

  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 tbsp lemongrass paste or finely chopped fresh
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil (or canola or peanut)
  • 1 cup (250 ml) vegetable broth, low sodium
  • 400 ml / 14 oz coconut milk (full fat!)
  • 6 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 tbsp sugar (white, brown or palm)
  • 2 tsp soy sauce, plus more to taste
  • 350g / 12 oz firm tofu, cut into 0.75 / 1/3" thick slices

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large heavy-based skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add curry paste and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add vegetable broth and stir to dissolve paste. Simmer rapidly for 3 minutes or until liquid reduces by half.
  4. Add coconut milk, lime leaves, sugar, and soy sauce. Stir, then add tofu.
