A delightful Thai-inspired tofu stir-fry with a flavorful sauce and vibrant vegetables.
Press the tofu between paper towels with a heavy object to remove excess water.
Pressing tofu helps it absorb flavors better and gives it a firmer texture.
Mix the curry paste, sugar, and soy sauce in a bowl.
Adjust the sauce ingredients to taste for a perfect balance of flavors.
Cut the tofu into cubes and marinate in half of the sauce for 15 minutes.
Marinating longer will enhance the flavor of the tofu.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the tofu until golden on all sides.
Cook tofu in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
In a saucepan, sauté the garlic, then add green beans, carrot, bell pepper, and onion. Cook until tender.
Stir frequently to ensure even cooking of the vegetables.
Combine the cooked tofu and vegetables, then add the remaining sauce. Stir well.
Ensure the sauce coats all ingredients evenly for the best flavor.
Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
