• 2 (13.5-ounce) cans of full-fat coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon of packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of red chili pepper flakes (adjust according to your spice preference)

Ingredients

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium­ high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and carrots, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the bell pepper is tender.
2. Add the potatoes and curry paste and sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Pour in the coconut milk, and stir in the brown sugar, salt, and red chili pepper flakes.
4. Bring to a boil and cover. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the broccoli and tofu and continue simmering, covered, for 15 more minutes.
5. Serve with the rice.

Notes

Friendly Suggestion: If you like your tofu to be very firm, sauté it in 1 tablespoon of canola oil for 3 to 4 minutes before adding it in step 4.
