Thai Red Tofu Curry

Creamy vegan Thai red curry with tofu, mixed vegetables and sticky jasmine rice.

A simple thai curry recipe packed with flavour and ready in under 30 minutes. The perfect mid week dinner recipe.

What I love about this recipe is that it’s;

  • Rich and creamy- coconut milk and peanut butter add an incredible creamy texture to the curry sauce.
  • High in protein- 20g per serving
  • Provides 2 of your 5 a day
  • Versatile- use any veg you prefer or have in your fridge, babycorn, mushrooms and spinach will also work great!

I’ve made things simple using a ready made Thai curry paste and Jasmine rice pouches from Tesco. Let’s be honest, do any of us have the time to make our own curry paste? I know I rarely do and I like to keep things simple where possible, especially if it doesn’t compromise flavour.

Let me know if you give this one a try. Leave a comment below and say hi!
