Recipe: Tofu in Red Curry Sauce

If you're a fan of Thai food and you aren't afraid of tofu, this recipe is for you. Super easy, moderately spicy, and faster than picking up Thai takeout.

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped green onions (about 1 bunch)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 14-ounce can light coconut milk
1 12.3-ounce package* tofu, drained, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 cups hot cooked rice

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions, ginger, and garlic; stir-fry 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, curry paste, coconut milk, and tofu. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Serve over hot cooked rice. Makes 4 servings.

*Shelf-stable (not refrigerated) package, like Mori-Nu

It looks delicious...but darn, I only have four ingredients.

How about giving us a grocery list a week ahead of time, then recipes to follow...it'd be something I'd look forward to trying...say one week a month...

Wouldn't it be nice to have something like a 'Cooking Club' as opposed to a Book Club...that we could all cook the same things one week a month!

Anyone interested??
