Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Brown Rice: Combine water, brown rice, soy sauce, and salt in a rice cooker. Cover and cook according to manufacturer's directions (approximately 35 minutes).

02

Step

Create the Panang Curry Base: Heat vegetable oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add panang curry paste; cook and stir until fragrant (1-2 minutes).

03

Step

Simmer the Flavors: Add coconut milk, vegetarian fish sauce, white sugar, and makrut lime leaves to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until flavors combine (about 5 minutes).

04

Step

Add Tofu and Vegetables: Stir in cubed tofu, broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and carrots. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender but still crisp (1-2 minutes).

05

Step

Serve: Serve the flavorful panang curry over a bed of fluffy brown rice.

For an extra layer of flavor, lightly pan-fry the tofu until golden brown before adding it to the curry.
Adjust the amount of curry paste to your preferred level of spiciness.
If you can't find makrut lime leaves, you can substitute with a teaspoon of lime zest.
Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or cauliflower.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added visual appeal and a touch of heat.
