Tofu Red Curry

-

 This recipe was given to me after a night of wine and fun in the summer, thank you to my roommate. 

Get any veggies you have in your fridge, tofu, red curry paste, coconut milk, and vegetable broth, and grab a chair (this one takes a while)

In a pan put some coconut oil and start to fry your tofu, while you are doing this cut up your veggies. For this recipe, I usually use onion, mushroom, garlic, broccoli, tomato, spinach, and peppers. Once your tofu is in a good place add your onion mushroom and garlic, cook them for about a minute and then add the curry paste, 1 can of coconut milk, and mix this all together. 

It has to reduce... A LOT... so as the minutes go by slowly add in your broccoli, then tomato, and then peppers and spinach closer to the end. If you add everything in too early it becomes mush which we don't want. If it starts producing a lot of oil don't panic, you can usually put all the veggies on one side, tip your pan and pour it out. 

After about an hour you will have the yummiest spicy curry ever, I serve it over quinoa and it is packed with protein and veggies!!

Enjoy!!


(I forgot to take a picture of it but its delicious)

Welcome readers! This blog is being created for a course I am taking at University. The purpose of my blog is going to be creating a genius hour project, this blog will be focused on cooking recipes that are vegetarian, and trying to improve my ability to cook. My goal is to create a project that people will find helpful and useful. This blog will include photos of the food I make, the recipes that I used, and how my experience cooking was! My progress will be measured through the new and fun recipes I make, and the progress I make through the completion of this project; further, I am interested to see if any of the new recipes will make it into my regular cooking routine.   Something I struggled with when I went to university was the lack of options I was able to have as a vegetarian when I needed to eat. I lived in a residence that did not have a kitchen and therefore I was able to eat what was provided in the cafeteria. I ended up becoming extremely sick because of the lack...

 I had this one time when I went to a Thai restaurant with my Dad and Grandma for lunch and immediately went home to find the recipe online, since then it has become one of my favorite soups. My only struggle with it is one of the ingredients is extraordinarily hard to find.. If you can find it though, make this soup it is SO good. The recipe that I use is from Tasty but I make a few modifications to it based on what I have in my kitchen.
