Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
The pillars of Thai cuisine are the balance of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy. In this recipe, we harmonize the sweetness of coconut milk, the saltiness of soy sauce, the acidity of lime, and the heat of curry. Quinoa takes the place of rice here, enriching the dish with higher protein content.

Instructions

1 ✓

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

Tip: The secret to crispy tofu is patience: don't flip it until it releases from the pan.
2 ✓

Sauté the chopped onion and garlic. Add the curry powder and toast briefly.

Tip: Toasting the spices is essential to unlock their flavors.
3 ✓

Pour in the coconut milk and simmer until thickened.

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

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

Tip: Mixing into the hot sauce allows the quinoa to absorb the flavors.
5 ✓

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro.

Tip: The texture play (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 flavor of citric acid and can make it bitter.
