  • Brown onion, 1 small, halved thinly sliced
  • Mushrooms, 150 g, quartered
  • Red curry paste, 1 tablespoon(s)
  • Vegetable liquid stock, low sodium, 2 cup(s)

Method

Cut tofu into 2cm pieces. Heat a wok or deep non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil and the tofu. Cook for 4 minutes, turning until golden all over. Remove to a plate.

Add remaining oil with onion and mushrooms, cook, stirring often for 3 minutes until they start to soften and brown. Mix the curry paste with ¼ cup (60ml) of the stock and add to the wok. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until aromatic.

Add the carrot and remaining stock, bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until carrot is tender. Add beans, lentils and tofu. Allow to simmer, uncovered for 3 minutes, until tofu is warmed through and sauce thickened slightly. Remove from the heat, scatter over coriander. Serve with lime.

TIP: If you prefer a spicier curry, use an extra tablespoon of curry paste.
