THIS VEGAN CURRY WILL HAVE YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE!
This simple baked tofu curry is so full of flavor, you will literally be spooning the curry into your mouth straight from the baking dish (don’t say I didn’t warn you)!
We love big bold flavors in our house and this dish hits all the right flavor notes. Thai is definitely one of my favorite cuisines. The balance of spicy, salty, sweet, sour, and umami are just perfect.
Thai food is known to be spicy but you can make this dish as mild as you like. I actually make this fish for my kids and just remove the fresh chili
You can easily prepare this the night before or in the AM and simply pop it into the oven before you are ready.
The longer it marinates, the more flavorful the tofu will be. I love cooking with Tofu because it is literally like a sponge and soaks all the flavors of whatever it is marinated in.
I've used bell peppers and broccoli as my vegetable choice, but feel free to use any vegetable you love.
I love this curry served with cauliflower rice or jasmine rice to soak up all the delicious curry!
