Nutrition Information

Tofu is a complete plant-based protein, which means it contains all nine essential amino acids — the building blocks of protein that you must obtain from food to help with muscle repair and growth. This is well-balanced with fiber and antioxidants from the bok choy, snow peas, and carrots.

Instructions

CRISP THE TOFU: 

  1. Slice the tofu into 1 x 1-inch cubes and pat dry with a paper towel or kitchen towel.
  2. Toss the tofu in avocado oil until well coated.
  3. Place the crisper plate into the air fryer basket.
  4. Select the Preheat function, adjust temperature to 450°F, then tap Start/Pause.
  5. Place the tofu cubes onto the preheated crisper plate.
  6. Select the Air Fry function, adjust temperature to 450°F and time to 12 minutes, then tap Start/Pause.
  7. Flip tofu halfway through cooking.
  8. Remove when done and set aside.

MAKE THE CURRY: 

  1. Heat the saucepan over medium heat. Add the coconut oil, then the carrots, onion, green curry paste, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until garlic softens.
  2. Add snow peas and bok choy, then cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the coconut milk and reduce heat to low. Add in the optional Thai chili pepper at this point. Cook for 10 minutes until liquid has slightly reduced and thickened.
  4. Toss tofu into the curry and season with salt to taste. If curry seems too thick, add in the vegetable stock a little at a time until desired thickness.
  5. Remove pan from heat, garnish with cilantro, and serve with cauliflower rice.

Chef Tips for Beginners:

  • Crisping the tofu before adding it into the curry ensures that the tofu doesn’t fall apart when stirred.
  • Any sort of springtime greens will work in this recipe. It is a fantastic way to use vegetables that are nearing the end of their lifespan.
  • If you are serving those who aren’t on a low-carb diet, jasmine rice or even coconut rice will work well with this dish.
  • The best Thai green curry paste will have ingredients like lime leaves, galangal, and lemongrass.
  • Coconut milk will round out the pungent green curry paste flavor but if you prefer to be stronger, you can add more green curry paste to the dish.
