Tofu with Panang Curry
Tofu-with-Panang-Curry.jpgServes 2
2 or 3 tablespoons Panang curry paste* (depending    on your threshold for heat), or your favorite curry paste
2 cans coconut milk (not the “lite”)
1 pound firm tofu, cut into bite-size cubes (not too large, not too small)
1 handful basil leaves, torn or coarsely chopped (no smaller than half-inch pieces)
Freshly squeezed juice of 1 or 2 limes (your call)
Put the curry paste and coconut milk in a small to medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until the curry paste dissolves into the coconut milk and the mixture comes to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain a respectable simmer, and cook until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the tofu and stir gently until hot. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil and lime juice. Serve at once.
