Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
12 ounces light extra-firm tofu, drained and patted dry, cut into four slices
1 tablespoon + 1½ teaspoons curry powder, divided
12 ounces packaged fresh stir-fry vegetables
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 large onion, cut into ¾-inch wedges
4 large garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup lite canned coconut milk (can use full-fat)
ΒΌ to ½ teaspoon chili garlic sauce
Salt, to taste, if needed
Instructions
Put the tofu slices on large plate, and sprinkle the top and bottom with the 1 tablespoon curry powder.
In a large microwaveable bowl, microwave the vegetables and water on high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until vegetables are almost tender-crisp. Pour off the remaining water.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until browned. Transfer the tofu to a clean large plate, and cover loosely to keep warm.
In the same skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Add the onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the vegetables and garlic, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Stir in the coconut milk, chili garlic sauce, and remaining curry powder. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Season with salt, if needed.
Spoon the vegetable mixture over the tofu to serve.
