Units
Scale
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 block firm tofu ((I used a 17oz block) cut into 1 by 1/2-inch squares)
- 1 pound green beans (cut ~ 1in. ength)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 ounces red curry paste (I used the Maesri brand 1/2can=2oz.)
Instructions
- Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a pan over high heat until shimmering, add tofu and brown and crisp on all sides, then transfer to a plate.
- Add another Tbsp. of oil to the pan and add beans and cook, stirring and tossing occasionally, until blistered and bright green between 2-4 minutes. The remove from pan.
- Add remaining Tbsp. oil to pan and add curry paste. Saute and stir continuously, until aromatic and sizzling for about 30 seconds.
- Quickly add tofu and beans back to the pan, mix in sugar and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure paste, sugar and soy sauce is evenly distributed.
- Serve with jasmine rice.
Notes
Before serving I would recommend you turn off heat and taste. If the curry/spice flavor is too light, move vegetables to side of pan add a bit more oil. Add more curry paste, saute quickly and mix into beans/tofu.
