Golden tofu in a creamy green curry with flavours of basil, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime and freshly roasted spices. Served on a bed of fluffy red rice.
1. Place rice in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse.
2. Pat tofu dry with paper towel. Cut into 2cm cubes. Heat frypan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Cook tofu for 3-4 minutes until browned.
3. Halve tomatoes and add to pan with green curry base. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in coconut milk and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Trim and halve beans. Slice zucchini into crescents and slice capsicum. Add to curry to cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Take off heat. Stir in kaffir lime zest, 1/2 lime juice and season to taste with soy sauce.
5. Divide rice and curry among bowls. Garnish with bean shoots and chopped basil leaves. Wedge remaining lime to serve.
