Directions:
For Vegan Coconut Thai Curry:
1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
2. Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Add the bamboo shoots to the curry and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.
6. Stir in the fresh lime juice and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce or sugar if needed.
7. Serve the Vegan Coconut Thai Curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves, over fragrant coconut rice.
For Fragrant Coconut Rice:
1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a cooking pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
4. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
