Tofu

  1. Combine tofu, corn starch, onion powder, salt and garlic powder. Stir to coat tofu. Mix until the tofu has picked up all of the corn starch mixture.
  2. Heat coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook, stirring/turning often until golden-brown and crisp.

 


Notes

Notes on spiciness: Going the intended red curry paste direction, this soup is spicy. If you LOVE really spicy food, use 2-3 teaspoons of red curry paste. If you like spicy food use 1 tablespoon of mild yellow curry powder and 1/2-1 teaspoon red curry paste. If you prefer something milder, skip the red curry paste and use 1 tablespoon of mild yellow curry powder. Add more coconut milk if you find the soup too spicy (adjust salt to taste, if needed.)
