Method
- Prepare the tofu: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a kitchen towel on the tofu and press to remove any water. Cut the tofu into small pieces and mix with olive oil, soy sauce and cornstarch. Spread cubes evenly on a piece of parchment paper and bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- In a large pan with plenty of boiling water add the vegetable bouillons. When dissolved, cook the pasta following pack instructions.
- To prepare the curry, in a large and deep frying pan, heat coconut oil over medium heat, then sauté shallot, ginger, and garlic until fragrant and softened, for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add curry paste and cook for one minute, then add the vegetables, stirring for 1-2 minutes until softened. Add coconut milk, water, soy sauce, turmeric, sugar, salt, and the drained cooked pasta. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the lime juice and mix. Top with the tofu, coriander, basil, and chopped green onions.
