Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegan oyster sauce
  • 1 block tofu, pressed
  • 5 kaffir lime leaves
  • 200g curry paste
  • 600ml coconut milk
  • 1 tsp vegan fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 250ml vegan chicken stock
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 150g green beans
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 cup thai basil
  • Rice

Steps

  1. Prepare marinade by whisking cornstarch, oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon water, and white pepper in a bowl.
  2. Cut the tofu into slices and coat the slices in the marinade.
  3. Heat a pan and add oil. Pan-fry the tofu in a single layer until golden brown, then transfer to a plate.
  4. For the curry, fry the lime leaves in hot oil in the wok for a minute. Keep stirring and don’t let them burn.
  5. Add the curry paste, stirring briskly until it starts to split into oil and smells fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add half the coconut milk and keep stirring to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  7. Reduce the sauce by a third. Add fish sauce, sugar, the remaining coconut milk and the stock, and bring to a boil.
  8. Add the tofu to the wok and lower to a simmer. Add the carrots and beans and cook for a few minutes.
  9. Add the bell pepper and broccoli and cook until tender then turn off the heat.
  10. Add thai basil leaves.
