Instructions
Press and Sear the Tofu
Press the tofu firmly between paper towels or use a tofu press for at least 10 minutes to remove as much moisture as possible. Cut into 1-inch cubes and season lightly with salt. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu cubes for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy on all sides.
Bloom the Curry Paste
Push the seared tofu to the edges of the pan and add the green curry paste to the center of the skillet. Cook the paste in the hot oil for about 60 seconds, stirring constantly, until it becomes very fragrant and deepens slightly in color. This step dramatically intensifies the flavor of the curry.
Simmer in Coconut Milk
Pour the full-fat coconut milk into the pan and stir to combine with the bloomed green curry paste. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the tofu has absorbed the curry flavor. Taste and season with salt. Serve over steamed rice.
