Curry

ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 small onions, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups water (or vegetable broth)
  • 2-3 curry cubes, adjusted to taste
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

For the tofu:

Method

  • Step 1

    Slice the pressed tofu into desired shapes (strips, cubes, etc.).

  • Step 2

    In a bowl, mix arrowroot flour, water, Sriracha sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika until smooth.

  • Step 3

    In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika

  • Step 4

    Dip each tofu piece into the wet batter, then coat evenly with the panko breadcrumb mixture.

  • Step 5

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated tofu until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

For the curry:

  • Step 1

    In a separate pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and potatoes until slightly tender.

  • Step 2

    Add water to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.

  • Step 3

    Add the curry cubes to the simmering mixture, stirring until dissolved and the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

  • Step 4

    Serve the curry over cooked jasmine rice. Top with the crispy Sriracha-infused tofu pieces. Finish with some more sriracha and garnish with sesame seeds.
