Coconut Lime Tofu

Coconut Lime Tofu

Serves 2 30 minutes

Vibrant, creamy, and deeply satisfying — this coconut lime tofu hits all the right notes. The coconut cream brings richness, the lime cuts through it, and the ginger and garlic add warmth.

Step 1: Prepare the Tofu

Drain and pat dry the tofu, then coat in cornflour and salt for frying, or simmer in salted water for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Chop and Sauté the Aromatics

Dice the onion and fry over medium heat with a pinch of salt for 5–7 minutes. Add minced garlic, ginger, and diced chilli and cook until fragrant.

Step 3: Add the Dry Spices

Stir in the paprika, cayenne pepper, and a splash of water. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 4: Add the Coconut and Lime

Pour in the coconut cream, squeeze in the lime juice, and let everything simmer gently.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Add the tofu and chopped coriander. Serve hot with steamed rice.
