Serves 2 | Prep time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 30 mins
INGREDIENTS
For the Curry Sauce
- 1 15-oz (400gm) can diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup water
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2-inch chunk of ginger, peeled
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 2 Tbsp curry powder
- 1 Tbsp tamari
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- pinch of cayenne, optional (depending on how hot your curry powder is)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- juice of 1 lime
For the Bowls
- cooked rice
- crispy baked tofu (use extra firm tofu)
- chopped cilantro
- lime wedges
METHOD
- Start cooking your rice and tofu. See notes for quick baked tofu recipe.
- In a blender, combine all the ingredients for the sauce except the lime juice. Blend on high until completely smooth.
- Pour the sauce into a large pot (it might splatter while it cooks, so use a larger pot than you think you’ll need) and turn to medium-high heat. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently while the tofu and rice cook, about 20-30 minutes. Just before serving, turn off the heat and add lime juice and salt to taste.
- Divide the rice and tofu into bowls and top with lots of sauce, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
- Store leftover sauce for a week in the fridge or a month or two in the freezer.
Notes:
To make crispy baked tofu, cut a block of extra firm tofu into cubes, spray or brush lightly with oil, season with a little salt and pepper, and bake at 205C/400F degrees for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
