400 calories/serving

Ingredients

1/4 cup canola oil 65 mL
400 g firm regular tofu, diced 2 cups
1 onions, finely chopped 200 g
2 zucchini, cut into rounds 260 g
1 green peppers, cut into 7 mm strips 150 g
1 tbsp curry powder 9 g
2 cups soybean sprouts 140 g
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk 170 mL
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]

Before you start

Put the serving dish in the oven at the lowest setting to keep the tofu and vegetables warm while the sauce cooks.

Method

  1. Heat a small quantity of oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. Coarsely dice the tofu and sauté 7-8 minutes, with gentle tossing, until the dices are golden-coloured. Remove the tofu from the skillet, place in a dish and keep warm in the oven.
  2. Add some additional oil to the skillet over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped onion. Coarsely slice the zucchini into rounds and the peppers into narrow strips, of about 7 mm. Add them to the skillet and sauté 7-8 min with occasional stirring. Add 1 teaspoon of curry powder and cook 1 min with constant stirring. Add the soybean sprouts and salt, then cook 2-3 min. Add the contents of the skillet to the tofu dices and keep warm in the oven.
  3. Add the remaining oil into the skillet over medium heat and sauté the crushed garlic 1 min with stirring. Add the remaining curry powder and cook 1 min with constant stirring. Pour in the coconut milk, stir and cook over very low heat 2-3 min. Put the tofu and vegetables back into the skillet, then mix well with the coconut-curry sauce. Heat a couple minutes then serve.

The recipe is quite bland, I agree. So, the second time I made it, I added a very good and potent curry powder that I got from an Indian store, a good amount of liquid soy seasoning (soy sauce or tamari), more pink salt than just a pinch, freshly ground pepper and voilà, a super delicious curry!

Super bland. Even adding copious amounts of ginger didn't help.

It is mild but then again it depends on the curry you use. Mine came out more like a sauce that can be gravy. I would add a rice dish to use up the sauce.

This dish turned out to be quite bland. It was definitely missing something, and could have used some spice.
