Ingredients

Steps

  1. Toss the tofu in cornstarch and fry in the oil until golden on all sides; set aside.

  2. Fry the curry paste 1 minute, add 100 ml coconut milk, and cook until thick and glossy.

  3. Add the remaining coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, and pepper; simmer 6 minutes.

  4. Return the tofu, warm through, and finish with basil and lime.

Press the tofu at least 15 minutes or it won't crisp.
