Ingredients

• 14 oz extra firm tofu
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp Massaman curry paste
• 14 oz coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp tamarind paste
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup roasted peanuts
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
• 2 cups jasmine rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes and carrot into bite-sized pieces. Slice the onion into wedges.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the tofu and pan-fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the Massaman curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Add the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, and tamarind paste, stirring thoroughly.

Step 6

Add the potatoes and carrot to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Stir in the onion and roasted peanuts, then simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 8

Return the tofu to the skillet. Stir gently to coat with the curry sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice, if desired.
