Green Curry Coconut Rice with Vegetables and Tofu

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    4 carrots, peeled and chopped into thick slices
    1/2 - 1 onion, sliced or chopped
    white mushrooms, sliced
    1 jalapeno, diced
    2 cups brown jasmine rice
    4 cups water + more for steaming
    salt and pepper
    1 can coconut milk
    ~1-2 tablespoons green curry paste
    1/2 - 1 lime
    few splashes of no-chicken or veg broth
    dried basil (or fresh)
    extra firm tofu, cubed
    1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I use olive or safflower)

Directions:

Put water, rice, and some salt in a covered pot to boil, and then reduce heat to low. Let rice cook while you prepare the rest of the dish.

Prepare vegetables and put some water on to boil for steaming. Add carrots to steamer and steam until just tender. Add onion, mushrooms, and jalapeno, season with salt, and steam until all vegetables are tender and to your liking.

Add the coconut milk, green curry paste, lime, broth, basil, and S & P to the vegetables, and simmer while you fry the tofu in the oil until golden and firm.  After the rice is done, add it, and the tofu, to the vegetables. Stir and adjust seasonings. You may add additional broth if you would like it to be saucier.

Serves: 4-6

Preparation time: 45 minutes-1 hour

Oh AC, I've failed ye. I don't know if I should be reviewing this, 'cause I wrecked it by using curry paste that was too old. The flavour/aroma was way funky. Pleh. uhoh But your recipe is solid! I want to try it again! The textures and colours and method were spot-on, and I know it would also taste great with fresh curry paste. Heli is a fool! Angry

Daayumm, this was good.
I've had curry a few times, but it's always been peanut.
This had the same feel and general flavor, minus the peanutyness!
It was also my first time making curry, so yay!
I halved it and used 2 cups of veggie broth instead of just water!
Also added Ginger & Garlic. :]
It was yummy!

Yum!

Kind of toyed with the recipe... initially only added red bell pepper and a touch of cinnamon.

i think i put in too many jalapenos, it was quite spicy SOOOO... i added a bit of peanut butter and it was delicious!!

will probably lay off the jalapenos next time, just to give my mouth a rest.

I've tried a few different coconut curry recipes from Vegweb and this is the best one so far.  Simple to make but good flavour!  I added ginger and garlic and used a bag of frozen mixed veggies (red and yellow pepper, spinach, broccoli, snow peas) but otherwise didn't change a thing.  It made a ton and thankfully leftovers are delish the next day!

This was really tasty, we both really enjoyed it!  I added a huge clove of garlic and about an inch of ginger, per the other's suggestions.  Also, I didn't have plain mushrooms, so I used reconstituted dry shitake's.   I was concerned about getting the garlic, ginger, shitake, and onion cooked via the steaming method, so I sauteed the onions till translucent, then just heated the ginger, garlic, shitake, and jalapeno through and set aside until the carrots were done steaming.  Used lemon juice instead of lime cause that's what I had and it worked fine-used the full amount.  Also used the full 2T of green curry paste.  Used a couple tablespoons of chopped fresh basil.  Added about 1T of brown sugar.  Didn't need any broth.  Thanks!

Made this today for lunch and the recipe is REALLY good.  Not quite hot enough for me, so I may add another jalapeno or maybe a serrano chile next time.  It also made a ridiculously large amount so I can enjoy this probably all week long.  Great dish to save for lunches at work!

Thanks!  (:

wow! I will definitely be making this one again! I made a few small changes, less rice (1.5cups+3 water/veg broth), zucchini instead of mushrooms, normal brown rice, small can of green chiles for the jalepeno, no lime, and I just added the vegetables to the tofu to cook once the tofu was almost done instead of steaming...  so basically the same recipe.  i went out and bought green curry paste for the first time just for this, and it was worth it.. we loved it!!

I love the green curry at my local Thai restaurant and was looking for a recipe to reproduce the same dish at home...this is great!  I have prepared it several times and don't change anything except to add some green bell pepper.  Very, very tasty.
