Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 14 oz (400 g) firm tofu, drained and cubed
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk, full fat for creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the curry sauce: In a medium-sized saucepan, place the coconut milk and curry paste. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it begins to simmer and the curry paste is well incorporated into the coconut milk, releasing its aroma.
  2. Add tofu and spinach: Gently add the cubed tofu and fresh spinach to the simmering sauce. Stir carefully to coat the tofu and wilt the spinach without breaking the tofu cubes. Let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the spinach is tender and the tofu has absorbed some of the curry flavors.

Notes

  • Use firm tofu to ensure it holds its shape during cooking.
  • For a spicier dish, increase the amount of curry paste to taste.
  • Serve with steamed jasmine rice or rice noodles for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
