Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start rice so it's ready when curry finishes (or use leftover rice).

  2. Step 2

    Pat tofu dry with paper towels, then cut into 3/4-inch cubes.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, then add tofu. Cook without stirring until golden on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until edges crisp. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add curry paste to the same skillet and stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in coconut milk and broth.

  5. Step 5

    Add potatoes and bring to a simmer over medium, cooking 6–8 minutes until potatoes are tender and curry darkens slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Stir in peanut butter until smooth, then add tofu back to the pan and warm through, 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

  7. Step 7

    Serve curry over warm rice.
