Instructions
- In a food processor blend together all the paste ingredients until it becomes well incorporated and a paste like consistency.
- In a large pot heat oil and saute curry paste for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add in your coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, kefir lime leaves, half of your basil and your vegetables. Simmer while stirring occasionally until vegetables become slightly tender, about 5-10 minutes.
- Optional…. I like to add my cubed tofu into and air fryer or oven to make crispy but you don’t have to.
- At this point when vegetables become soft add in your tofu and lime juice. And cook for another 2 minutes. Top with crushed peanuts and remain Thai basil. Serve with a side of rice and enjoy!
