veggie and tofu curry

i was reading the raw food thread and i thought wow thats interesting but im not too sure i can eat cold food all the time. i have been to trying to up veggie intake and found that thai curry is a really good for that. and you dont have to cook the hell out of everything like indian-style curry (although i have a fantastic chickpea and veggie curry which ill write down sometime).

some of the ingredients will not familiar to you, so i recommend you swing by to your local asian grocery and have a look. most supermarkets actually sell stuff like fish sauce and curry paste but theyre no fun. so head over into an ethnic grocery store and try something new people!

this isnt a vegetarian recipe. please, do me a favour. dont substitute fish sauce with soy sauce. it. does. not. work. use a veggie stock cube instead if you cant get a hold of fish sauce. also generally thai curry paste is not vegetarian but you might be able to find one that is.

you can basically use any vegetables you want. crispier texture works better than leafy ones so think carrots, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, snow peas rather than silverbeet or cabbage. although i made one last night with some cabbage thrown in at the end and it was quite nice innit.



ingredients
(serves 3-4)

vegetables (what i used, substitute as you will)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- 1/2 cup of green beans
- 1 handful thai basil leaves (theyre different to your sweet italian basil but you can substitute with sweet basil - if you dont have fresh omit it. dont even think about putting dried basil in)
- 1/2 cup canned bamboo shoots

other stuff
- 2 tbsp fish sauce (if you dont have it, flavour with veggie stock powder or cube)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 4 tbsp coconut cream
- 1 tbsp red curry paste
- 8 fried tofu puffs (substitute with tofu if you cant get a hold of it but this is much better texture-wise)

on high heat, add coconut cream and curry paste. stir until the coconut cream 'splits'. only takes a few seconds.

add a bit of water (or if you used coconut milk, scoop the solid cream up top and use it as coconut cream and add the rest to this step). add seasonings (your sugar, fish sauce or stock cube).
