Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients Measures
Extra-firm, drained tofu (see directions below) 7 ounces
Lite coconut milk ½ cup
Red curry paste 1 teaspoon
Sugar ½ teaspoon
Salt ½ teaspoon
Olive oil 1 tablespoon
Baby spinach, packed 2 cups
Snap peas 1 cup

Tip: You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken breast for the tofu, if desired.

  1. Directions
  2. Press water from 14-ounce block of tofu by putting it in between several layers of paper towels and placing a dinner plate on top. Let sit for 15 minutes. Divide block into 2 halves, keep 1 half and freeze the other half for later use.
  3. Cube the tofu into ½-inch squares.
  4. Mix together the coconut milk, curry paste, sugar, and salt in a small bowl.
  5. Heat oil in a large wok or nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, rotating until each side is golden.
  6. Add spinach, snap peas, and sauce. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are just cooked. Serve over rice.
