Vegetarian curry in creamy coconut sauce with loads of veggies - a healthy comfort food favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can light coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons liquid aminos (such as Bragg®)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2.5 teaspoons red curry paste
  • 2.5 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 0.25 cup minced fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
  • 1.5 cups chopped bok choy
  • 1.5 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 bunch green onions, diced
  • 5 medium mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 large Anaheim chile peppers, diced
  • 2 small Roma tomatoes, diced
  • salt to taste
Instructions:
  • Wrap tofu snugly in paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Place a plate on top to press out liquid. Allow to sit until paper towels are fully damp, around 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking tray while you wait.
  • Remove damp paper towels and cut tofu into cubes. Transfer the cubes to the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until perfectly dry.
  • Drain pineapple chunks, saving the juice, while the tofu bakes.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, mix together coconut milk, liquid aminos, ginger, curry paste, chili powder, curry powder, and garlic. Stir in the reserved pineapple juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir into the coconut milk mixture until it thickens slightly.
  • Add fresh basil and spicy jalapeno to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Introduce bok choy, spinach, green onions, mushrooms, chile peppers, tomatoes, and pineapple chunks; mix well to cover all ingredients. Continue cooking over medium heat until vegetables are tender yet crisp, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Coat tofu with seasoning and salt. Cover and let flavors meld for 10 minutes, or serve right away.
