Description

These Crispy Tofu Bowls with Curry Noodles and Chili Green Beans deliver a vibrant and satisfying meal that combines golden-fried tofu with a creamy coconut curry sauce, tender rice noodles, and spicy green beans. This easy-to-make, flavorful dish is perfect for a wholesome dinner and highlights a tasty fusion of Asian-inspired flavors.

Ingredients

Tofu

  • 14 oz firm tofu, drained and cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp curry powder

Noodles and Sauce

  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime

Vegetables

  • 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed

Instructions

  1. Press and Cube Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture for better crispiness and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Fry Tofu: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tofu cubes until they are golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  3. Cook Rice Noodles: Prepare rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside for later use.
  4. Prepare Curry Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the minced ginger and curry powder for one minute to release their flavors. Add the coconut milk and low-sodium soy sauce, then let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add Vegetables and Noodles: Add trimmed green beans and cooked rice noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together thoroughly so the curry sauce evenly coats the noodles and green beans.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Divide the noodle and vegetable mixture into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the crispy tofu cubes and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a bright, tangy flavor.

Notes

  • Pressing tofu is essential to achieve a crispy texture when frying.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt level in the dish.
  • You can add chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the green beans for extra heat if desired.
  • Ensure noodles do not overcook to maintain their texture when tossed in the curry sauce.
