Ingredients

• 14 ounce extra-firm tofu (pressed and cubed)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2.5 tablespoon green curry paste
• 1 fresh ginger (1 inch, grated)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 13.5 ounce full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 8 ounce asparagus spears (tough ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 red bell pepper (medium, thinly sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 12 ounce cauliflower rice (frozen)
• 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

1. Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add green curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Stir in grated fresh ginger and minced garlic. Cook for another minute.
3. Pour in full-fat coconut milk and vegetable broth, whisking to combine the curry paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
4. Add cubed extra-firm tofu, asparagus spears, and thinly sliced red bell pepper to the pot. Stir gently to coat.
5. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the curry has thickened slightly. Stir in fresh lime juice and season with salt to taste.
6. While the curry simmers, prepare the frozen cauliflower rice according to package directions, typically by microwaving or sautéing in a separate pan.
7. Serve the Thai Green Curry Tofu hot over the prepared cauliflower rice, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes

Ensure your green curry paste does not contain added sugars for strict Keto. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; the flavors tend to deepen overnight.
