#  Curry Tofu &amp; Vegetables  


This light, quick and easy one-pot features lots of tofu – which is quite often used in Jamaican cooking. Curried is also one of the common ways it's cooked – think juicy flavours, crunch and taste…

Ingredients

    5 tbsp olive oil  

   ½ red onion, thinly sliced  

   ½ white onion, thinly sliced  

   2 spring onions, thinly sliced  

   ¼ white cabbage, shredded  

   1 carrot, cut into julienne  

   ½ green bell pepper, deseeded and cut into julienne  

   ½ red bell pepper, deseeded and cut into julienne  

   2 garlic cloves, finely chopped  

   1 tbsp grated fresh ginger  

   1 x 400ml can coconut milk or coconut cream  

   125ml water  

   1 tsp cornflour  

   1 tbsp Caribbean curry powder  

 



  

 For the tofu  


   1 x 200g block of extra-firm tofu  

   1 tbsp all-purpose seasoning  

   1 tbsp Caribbean curry powder  

   1 tsp grated fresh ginger  

   1 tbsp olive oil  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

First, prepare your tofu. After draining off any water  
 in the packet, place a plate on top of the block of tofu  
 and press down on it for 30 seconds, then blot with  
 kitchen paper to remove as much water as you can.  
 Cut into chunky cubes, about 2–3cm, place in a bowl  
 and add the all-purpose seasoning, curry powder,  
 ginger and olive oil. Cover and set aside to marinate.



 Step 2 

Heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan  
 or wok over a medium heat. Add the onions, spring  
 onions, cabbage, carrot and bell peppers and cook  
 down for 5–7 minutes until softened, then add the  
 garlic and ginger and stir well. Remove everything  
 from the pan and set aside.



 Step 3 

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan  
 and heat. Add the marinated tofu and fry for a few  
 minutes on each side until golden brown. Add the  
 coconut milk and water and stir well. In a small bowl,  
 mix together the cornflour and curry powder, add  
 a likkle water to make a smooth paste, then add to  
 the pan. Mix together and simmer for 5–7 minutes,  
 to thicken. Stir the veggies back in and simmer for  
 5 minutes to heat through.
