Nutrition Tip: batch make this on your day off and store in glass containers in the fridge to enjoy for dinner in the next 1-3 days. If you make more than you can eat, the curry freezes well also.

Total Time: 35 min


INGREDIENTS: Curry
4 shallots, peeled and minced
1 tsp (5 mL) oil 
2 cloves garlic, crushed 

3 potatoes, cut into 1cm chunks 
3 Tbsp (75 g) red curry paste 

2 medium red bell peppers, chopped 
1/2 broccoli, broken into bite-sized bits 
1.25 cups (180 g) seasoned tofu strips*
1 can (400 mL) full-fat coconut milk 
1 Tbsp (15 mL) soy sauce 
1 tsp (5 mL) sambal hot sauce 


INGREDIENTS: Optional Garnish
Roasted cashews
Cilantro, parsley or fresh basil 
Chili flakes 


Directions
  1. Sauté the shallots with oil in a large pan on high heat. Add 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water as needed to de-glaze the pan and avoid burning, stirring occasionally until translucent and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for another 2 minutes, stirring and adding water as needed.
  2. Add the potatoes, curry paste and 1 cup water to the pot, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer with lid partially covered, allow to simmer for about 7 minutes. 
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 8-10 minutes, until fragrant and veggies lightly cooked to your liking. Serve with brown rice, garnish, and enjoy!


Notes
  1. Variations: add other veggies you desire like carrots, or yellow bell peppers. Other curry pastes also work great with this recipe like green curry , Massaman curry, or Panang curry paste. 
  2. *Speed-it-up: using pre-seasoned tofu speed up this recipe, but of course you can always make your own. 
  3. Storage: store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
