Green Bean and Tofu Curry
Sunday I had to run to the grocery store to pick up some last minute items for family dinner that evening. While I was there I stopped to check out the clearance produce cart. I’ve mentioned before that one of the stores I frequently go to will mark down produce that is nearing the end of its shelf life. I love the great deals I can get here! While I was there this time I picked up a bag of clementines, some bell peppers, and a big bag of fresh green beans.
Monday night I was looking for a quick and easy dinner idea (anyone else not feel like cooking on Mondays?) so decided to make a curry stir fry with the green beans and some tofu. Serve over brown rice for a quick healthy meal.
Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic,minced
- 3 cups green beans, stems removed and cut into bite size pieces
- 1/4-1/2 tsp red curry paste (I use Thai Kitchen brand)
- 1 tsp low sodium soy sauce, tamari, or Bragg's aminos
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 1 package firm or extra firm tofu, drained and pressed. Cut into cubes.
Instructions
- Preheat medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions and garlic, saute until tender. Add a little water if they start to stick.
- Add the green beans, add a thin layer of water to the bottom of the pan. Cover the pan.
- Cook until beans are tender but still firm, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the tofu and cook about 10 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce and the red curry paste.
- Add the coconut milk. Cook until heated through.
- Serve over brown rice.
