Spicy Thai Pineapple Curry with Tofu

As we transition into fall, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the sweetness of pineapple with the heat of Thai curry. This Spicy Thai Pineapple Curry with Tofu is a perfect balance of flavors and textures that will warm you up on a chilly evening. Let’s dive into this unique and delicious dish!

Ingredients:

• firm tofu (400g)
• pineapple chunks (300g)
• coconut milk (400ml)
• red curry paste (2 tbsp)
• vegetable broth (200ml)
• bell peppers, sliced (2)
• onion, chopped (1)
• garlic, minced (3 cloves)
• fresh ginger, grated (1 tbsp)
• lime juice (2 tbsp)
• fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• wok
• wooden spoon
• measuring cups

Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into cubes. In a wok, heat some oil and add the tofu cubes. Sear them until they are golden brown on all sides, then set aside. In the same wok, sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant. Add the red curry paste and stir until well combined.

Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the bell peppers and pineapple chunks, allowing them to cook until they soften slightly. Return the tofu to the wok and stir gently to mix everything together. Let the curry simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Finish the dish by squeezing fresh lime juice over the curry and garnishing with chopped cilantro. Serve the Spicy Thai Pineapple Curry with Tofu over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal that will tantalize your taste buds.

This dish yields approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing about 400 grams. One serving is approximately 350 calories. For a unique twist, try adding a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
