  • 450g firm tofu
  • 1 x 400g tin coconut milk
  • 2 bunches fresh spring onions

  • 1 tsp. minced ginger
  • 2 tsp. minced red chilli

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Chop the tofu into cubes. Remove the white parts of the spring onions and thinly slice the rest of the flesh. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Finely chop the pak choi. Dice the tomatoes. Slice the pepper in half, remove the seeds and pith and dice the flesh.

  2. In a large saucepan, combine coconut milk, 3 tbsp. soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, ginger and chilli. Stir well and bring to the boil.
