If you’re like me and have a primarily plant-based diet, Thai restaurants are probably near and dear to your heart. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Usually if not always, a large part of their menus are vegan! \u00a0This curry recipe is as close to restaurant taste and quality as I’ve ever tasted. \u00a0A must try. \u00a0(Thanks to Sharon Cho for this recipe.)<\/h2>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Cook the rice according to package directions. Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F to begin baking the tofu. Spray a baking sheet with oil. Lay the tofu cubes out evenly, spray with oil, then sprinkle with salt. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

While the tofu is baking, prepare the curry. In a pot, saut\u00e9 the onions and cumin over medium-high heat in olive oil until onions are transparent. Add ginger, garlic, curry powder, salt, and jalape\u00f1o pepper. Saut\u00e9 for a couple of more minutes. Stir in coconut milk, diced tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and bell pepper. Bring to a simmer for 10 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add the baked tofu cubes, peas, and basil leaves, and then cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Serve the tofu curry over brown rice and season to taste with hot chili sauce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4608,"featured_media":21026,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2704],"yst_prominent_words":[1469,1038,1158,1600],"class_list":["post-20524","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-entrees","cp_recipe_cuisine-asian","cp_recipe_cooking_method-baking","cp_recipe_cooking_method-sauteing","cp_recipe_cooking_method-simmering","cp_recipe_tags-diabetes","cp_recipe_tags-gluten-free","cp_recipe_tags-nut-free","cp_recipe_tags-recipe-videos"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/20524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4608"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20524"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=20524"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=20524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
