Prepare rice according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp oil in large saucepan set over medium-high heat; add tofu, 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tofu is slightly browned. Transfer to plate; set aside.
Heat remaining oil in skillet; add pumpkin, celery, carrot, onion and lemongrass and cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are slightly softened.
Stir in curry paste, garlic, tamari, lime juice, ginger and brown sugar; cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until fragrant.
Stir in coconut milk and vegetable broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 30 to 35 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Return tofu to pan along with bok choy; simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until bok choy is tender. Season with remaining salt and pepper.
Divide rice among 4 bowls; spoon curry over top. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges (if using).
Tip: Substitute butternut squash or sweet potato for pumpkin if desired.
Thai Green Curry Paste
With a subtly sweet and fresh taste, Thai green curry paste is found in between mild yellow curry paste and spicier red curry paste. This traditional condiment is made from herbs and vegetables such as cilantro, Thai green chilis and lemongrass stems with dried shrimp paste and much more. While it is possible to make a homemade version, there are many high-quality options found in the international section of supermarkets.
To try a recipe using spicier red curry paste, prepare our Panang Chicken Curry.
Vegetarian Curry Recipe
This meat-free recipe for green curry is prepared with tofu and loads of hearty vegetables such as pumpkin, celery, carrot, onion and lemongrass. Perfect for savoring fall flavors, this dish is both creamy and comforting. If pumpkin is not in season, swap in sweet potato or summer squash like zucchini.
To add depth of flavor, we suggest serving this veggie curry over a bed of Premium Black Rice to really absorb all of the flavors. Ideal for any diet, superfood black rice is higher in protein, minerals and antioxidants than traditional white rice.
If you’ve never cooked with tofu and are interested to start, take a look at these tips.
- Not all tofu is the same. Make sure to choose a high-quality version of extra-firm tofu that is made without fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides.
- Before cooking the tofu, ensure it is drained of all water so that it cooks up crispy. To dry it, place it between two paper towels and press the water out.
- Cook your tofu in a hot pan to ensure it browns well.
