Coconut curry with quinoa, broccoli & tofu

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
While soup blends everything to homogeneity, here the interplay of textures is key. The coconut curry sauce envelops the fluffy quinoa and crunchy broccoli but doesn't drown them. The technique lies in timing: everything is prepared separately and only married at the end, so each element retains its character. A one-pot style dish that turns a weekday dinner into a festive feast.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Saucepan for quinoa
  • Large frying pan or wok
  • Kitchen paper
  • Sieve

Allergen Information

⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Sesame seeds

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse the quinoa in hot water, then cook in double the amount of salted water for 15 minutes. Let rest covered.

Tip: During resting, remaining moisture distributes evenly in the seeds.
2 ✓

Press the tofu with kitchen paper, cube, and fry in half the heated olive oil in the pan until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Tip: If you don't overcrowd the pan, the tofu will fry, not steam. (Maillard reaction).
3 ✓

Separate broccoli into florets. Add a splash of water to the same pan, add broccoli, cover, and steam for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crunchy. Remove this too.

Tip: Steaming preserves vitamins and colour. (Enzyme activity cessation).
4 ✓

Pour the remaining oil into the pan, fry the chopped garlic, ginger, and curry powder for 1 minute.

Tip: Careful, garlic becomes bitter quickly if it burns!
5 ✓

Pour in the coconut milk, season with salt and pepper, and simmer down slightly (approx. 5 minutes).

Tip: Boiling concentrates flavours and thickens the sauce. (Water loss).
6 ✓

Toss the quinoa and broccoli into the sauce to warm through. Upon serving, pile the crispy tofu on top, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and coriander.

Tip: Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan before serving for extra flavour.

Recipe FAQ

Can I replace the coconut milk?
It works with cream or cooking cream too, but the distinctive Asian flavour profile will be slightly different.
What if the broccoli is overcooked?
Next time, steam for less time! For now, blend it into the sauce to thicken it, and serve fresh vegetables on the side.
