Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. You can do this by wrapping the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top (like a cast-iron skillet) for about 15-20 minutes.
- Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the Panang curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until it becomes fragrant and slightly darker in color.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine with the curry paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the cubed tofu to the skillet, stirring gently to coat with the curry sauce.
- Add the mixed frozen vegetables and pineapple chunks to the skillet. Stir to mix everything evenly.
- Allow the curry to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are fully cooked and tender.
- Stir in the dried basil, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or sugar to balance the flavors to your preference.
- Once everything is well-cooked and the flavors have melded together, remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve the vegan Panang curry hot over steamed rice or your favorite grain. Garnish with fresh basil or cilantro if desired.
Tips:
- Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes before cooking to remove excess moisture and improve its texture.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and creamier curry.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of curry paste based on your spice tolerance.
- For added flavor, toast the dried basil briefly in a dry pan before adding it to the curry.
- If you prefer fresh vegetables, use about 700g of your favorite fresh veggies instead of frozen mixed vegetables.
