Ingredients

Directions

  1. Press the firm tofu to remove excess water, then cut into bite-sized cubes.

  5. Pour in the light coconut cream and stir to combine with the paste.
  6. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
  7. Return the tofu to the pan and add the snow peas.

  9. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped coriander and sliced spring onions.
  10. Serve warm immediately.

Note

For a richer sauce, you can use full-fat coconut cream instead of light.

If you prefer a spicier dish, add an extra tablespoon of curry paste or a slice of fresh chili.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much.

You can substitute snow peas with broccoli florets, bell peppers, or zucchini for variety.
