Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
The pillars of Thai cuisine are the balance of sweet, salty, sour and spicy. In this recipe, we harmonise the sweetness of coconut milk, the saltiness of soy sauce/salt, the acidity of lime and the heat of curry. Here, quinoa takes the role of rice, enriching the dish with a higher protein content.

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse and cook the quinoa. Cube the tofu, pat dry, and fry in oil until crisp. Remove and set aside.

Tip: The secret to crisp tofu is patience: do not turn it until it releases from the pan.
2 ✓

Fry the chopped onion and garlic. Add the curry powder and heat through.

Tip: Heating the spices is essential to unlock the flavours.
3 ✓

Pour in the coconut milk and simmer until thickened.

Tip: As the water evaporates, the flavours concentrate.
4 ✓

Remove from the heat, squeeze in the lime juice, and stir in the quinoa and tofu.

Tip: When mixed into the hot sauce, the quinoa absorbs the flavours.
5 ✓

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and coriander.

Tip: The play of textures (crunchy seeds, soft tofu) makes the dish exciting.

Recipe FAQ

When should I add the lime?
Always at the very end of cooking, or when serving. Heat dulls the taste of citric acid and can make it bitter.
