Enjoy the medley of fragrant flavours in this green curry with a gentle warming heat. The tofu morsels are fried separately so they get lightly golden, adding a delicious contrast against the rich coconut sauce. With kaffir lime leaves bringing an enticing aroma and crispy shallots for addictive crunch, this is an easy way to enjoy a taste of Thailand at home.

1 packet
jasmine rice
¾ tin
Thai green curry paste
(Contains: Soy; May be present: Peanuts. )
1 packet
Crispy Shallots
1 bunch
Asian Greens
2 unit
makrut lime leaves
1 unit
onion
2 clove
garlic
¾ tin
coconut milk
1 bag
green beans
½ block
firm tofu
(Contains: Soy; May be present: Eggs, Sesame, Crustaceans. )
olive oil
1 tsp
soy sauce (or gluten free tamari soy sauce)
(Contains: Soy, Gluten; )
1.25 cup
water (for the rice)
In a medium saucepan, bring the water (for the rice) to the boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, pat the firm tofu (see ingredients list) dry with paper towel and cut into 1cm cubes. Thinly slice the brown onion. Trim the green beans and cut into thirds. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Very thinly slice the kaffir lime leaves. Roughly chop the Asian greens. TIP: Kaffir lime leaves have a fibrous texture, so you want to cut them very thin!
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle more olive oil. Add the brown onion and green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and Thai green curry paste (see ingredients list) and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. SPICY! The curry paste is spicy so use less if you're sensitive to heat. Add the coconut milk (see ingredients list) and kaffir lime leaves and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Add the Asian greens, tofu and soy sauce to the curry and stir until wilted and heated through.
Divide the jasmine rice between bowls and top with the Thai green curry. Garnish with the crispy shallots.
