Formatted by Chupa Babi in MC: 04.04.07 TIP - Ingredient notes: Look for reduced-fat coconut milk (labeled "lite") in the Asian section of your market. Red curry paste is a convenient way to add heat and complexity to a recipe. Look for it in small jars in the Asian section of the supermarket. Creamy Thai curry sauce gives tofu a spicy, satisfying kick. You can adjust the amount of curry paste depending on your spice preference. Serve with brown basmati rice and lime wedges.
