Green Curry Fried Rice with Tofu

Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked Rice
• 1 block Firm Tofu
• 2 tablespoons Green Curry Paste
• 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
• 2 cups Mixed Vegetables
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1/4 cup Thai Basil

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 block of firm tofu on a clean kitchen towel and press down firmly to remove as much excess water as possible. Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
2. 2Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Add the tofu cubes and fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on most sides. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried tofu from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
3. 3Add the 2 tablespoons of green curry paste to the same skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until it smells fragrant. Do not let it burn.
4. 4Pour in the 1/2 cup of coconut milk and add the 2 cups of mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. You should still be able to see some bright color on the vegetables.
5. 5Add the 4 cups of cooked rice, the reserved fried tofu, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the skillet. Stir well to combine everything, breaking up any clumps of rice, and continue to stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the rice and tofu are heated through.
6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup of Thai basil just before serving.
