Hello lovelies, today it's going to be an Asian dish again, as you already know, we love Asian cuisine. Therefore I‘m sharing a recipe for red curry soup with coconut tofu with you! The soup was absolutely delicious, but especially the tofu tasted so great, I don't want to withhold it from you. I keep reading in various forums/Instagram/Facebook that people are looking for delicious tofu recipes. As I agree with you that natural tofu doesn‘t taste super yummy, but there are so many ways to make tofu tasty. Born from that same love: my new chop suey with crunchy vegetables and noodles – perfect when you are craving a quick stir-fry instead of soup.
If you enjoy quick coconut curries like this, you'll also love my creamy chickpea curry with coconut milk and spinach.
I love tofu by now and eat it several times a week. My favorite varieties include the "Black Forest" and the "Almond Sesame" tofu from Taifun Tofu. And this is in no way sponsored (even though I've worked with them before), but I think it's just the best tofu. I prefer to eat these two types cold, on bread or just like that - mostly while I'm cooking.
But now back to coconut tofu, you have to try it. I used natural tofu, which is covered in a flour mixture and then breaded with coconut flakes - so so good! And of course it goes wonderfully with Asian dishes like this red curry soup, which you can prepare super quickly.
The red curry paste gives the soup a pleasant spiciness. If your children don‘t like it spicy, then add a little more paste later on or serve the soup with a mild yogurt. My two kids also just eat pasta with coconut milk and tofu, because everyone loves it.
You can definitely convince every tofu critic with the fine coconut tofu – assumed they like coconut :-). It‘s important that you don‘t let the oil in the pan get too hot and roast the tofu slowly, otherwise the coconut will turn black outside and not crispy. I have already tried baking it in the oven, which is also very tasty, but then the tofu will become a little dry. This is more suitable in a salad or with a sauce.
As you can see, tofu can be used in so many different ways and if you try a little, then I'm sure you will find a version that you really like. You can already find some ideas / recipes here on the blog. And definitely try the delicious Thai curry soup. I love such dishes and it‘s also great as an appetizer for a meal with friends or family.
If you love Asian soups as much as I do, be sure to also try my creamy vegan tom kha gai with tofu or this warming vegan umami ramen - both are wonderfully fragrant and quick to make. And if you enjoy cooking with coconut, you will love my homemade peanut butter with coconut on toast or in a smoothie.
