Yöntemler

Prep tofu. Pat the tofu thoroughly dry with paper towels, then cut it into cubes. Add the tofu to a large zip-top bag, sprinkle with 3 tablespoons cornstarch, seal, and give it a good shake until evenly coated. You can also toss everything together in a bowl if you prefer.

Pan-fry tofu. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu in a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes, until golden and crisp. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.👉 If the pan is too crowded, cook the tofu in two batches, so it browns properly.

Saute aromatics. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan, then add the 1 cup chopped onion, 3 grated garlic cloves, and 2 teaspoons of grated ginger. Reduce the heat to medium and sauté for 4–5 minutes, until the onion starts to turn translucent.Stir in 3 tablespoons red curry paste and 1 red bell pepper, and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly so the curry paste toasts evenly.

Simmer curry. Pour in one can of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 to 3 tablespoons brown sugar, and ½ cup water. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors come together.

Finish. Stir in the cooked tofu and 3 handfuls of spinach, then simmer for a few minutes until the spinach wilts and the tofu is warmed through. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, then taste and adjust with a pinch of salt or brown sugar, if needed.Serve hot over fluffy rice and enjoy!
