Aubergine and Tofu Thai Curry

4

10 mins

Silky aubergine and golden tofu simmered in a fragrant Thai red or green curry sauce with crunchy sugar snap peas and edamame, finished with a squeeze of lime. It’s an easy, one-pan dinner ready in 30 minutes. Tofu and edamame make it high in plant protein, and the vegetables and brown rice add plenty of fibre.

Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 400g firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tbsp Thai red or green curry paste
  • 2 aubergines (around 500g), cut into batons
  • 100ml light coconut milk
  • 200g sugar snap peas
  • 150g frozen edamame beans
  • 1 tsp reduced-salt soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp fish sauce (or vegan fish sauce for vegan)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Black pepper
  • 150g dried brown rice (or 1½ x 250g pouches cooked brown rice), to serve
