Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 400g firm tofu, cubed
  • 200g fresh spinach, washed and drained
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red or green curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for sautéing curry paste)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Curry Sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat (if using). Add the curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  2. Add Tofu and Spinach: Gently add the cubed tofu to the simmering sauce followed by the fresh spinach. Stir carefully to coat the tofu and wilt the spinach in the sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the flavors meld and the spinach is tender.
  3. Season and Serve: Taste the sauce and season with salt as needed. Serve the Swimming Rama Tofu hot with steamed rice or your choice of side.

Notes

  • Use firm or extra-firm tofu to maintain texture during cooking.
  • You can substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach if fresh is unavailable; thaw and drain excess water before adding.
  • Adjust the amount of curry paste according to your preferred spice level.
  • For added depth, sauté minced garlic and shallots before adding the curry paste.
  • This dish can be made gluten free by verifying the curry paste ingredients.
