Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Press tofu between paper towels for 1 minute to remove excess water. Cut into 3/4-inch cubes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Add tofu cubes and sear 2 minutes per side until golden.

  3. Step 3

    Push tofu to the edge. Add curry paste to the center and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in coconut milk. Add bok choy. Bring to a simmer and cook 3 minutes until greens are tender.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lime juice over the curry. Taste and adjust with salt or lime juice. Divide into bowls.

  6. Step 6

    Garnish with lime zest and fresh herbs if using. Serve immediately over rice.
