Here’s a simple and delicious 5-Ingredient Green Curry recipe that’s perfect for a quick dinner. It’s loaded with vegetables and has a rich, creamy sauce, enhanced with a touch of sweetness from golden raisins and the fresh flavor of cilantro.
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces of firm tofu
- A dash of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tablespoons of green curry paste (Thai Kitchen brand recommended for a milder taste)
- Three 14-ounce cans of coconut milk
- About 3 cups of broccoli florets
Optional Extras:
- A handful of chopped fresh cilantro
- A handful of golden raisins
- A little fish sauce and brown sugar to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu with paper towels to remove excess water. Cut it into cubes. Heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the tofu, sprinkle with salt, and pan-fry until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the tofu and set it aside.
- Cook the Veggies: In the same pot, combine the sweet potatoes, coconut milk, and curry paste. Let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Then, add the broccoli and the previously cooked tofu. Continue to simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the broccoli turns bright green.
- Add the Finishing Touches: For a unique twist, throw in a handful of golden raisins and some chopped cilantro. I recommend adding a splash of fish sauce and a sprinkle of brown sugar to really enhance the flavors.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve the curry over steaming white rice for a complete meal.
Note:
If you’re using a different brand of curry paste like Mae Ploy or Maesri, which are spicier, start with less paste and adjust according to your taste preference.
This green curry is not only easy to make but also wonderfully flavorful and satisfying!
