- 2
bunches green onions, wash and trim off root end
- 1-14
ounce can light coconut milk
- 3-4
Tbsp soy or tamari sauce (reduced sodium)
- 1/2
Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1-1/2
teaspoon curry powder
- 1
teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1-2
teaspoons chili paste with garlic (find with Thai foods in the
grocery store)
- 1
lb. firm or extra-firm tofu (drain water and cut into 3/4 inch
cubes)
- 4
ripe plum tomatoes (may use canned), cut into pieces
- 1
yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4
pound fresh mushrooms (I use shiitake) - cut off stems and slice
thickly
- 1/4
cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped (find in the produce
section of the grocery store or your garden during the growing
season)
- 4
cups coarsely chopped greens of your choice (kale, collards,
swiss chard, bok choy or spinach)
- salt
to taste (I don't use any)
Directions:
- Cut
white and green part of onions into 2 inch diagonal pieces.
Finely chop some of the green stems for garnish and reserve.
- In
a Dutch oven or large kettle, combine coconut milk, 3 Tbsp.
soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, ginger and 1 teaspoon
chili paste. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Then
add tofu, tomatoes, bell pepper, mushrooms, basil, greens, and
green onion pieces.
Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes more or
until veggies are tender.
- Adjust
seasonings with soy sauce, chile paste, and salt. Garnish with
reserved chopped green onion.
- Serve
immediately.
Very
good served over brown rice. I use organic Basmati rice (nothing
smells sooo good!) by Lundberg Farms. Served with whole grain
bread, a green salad, and fresh fruit completes the meal.
Makes 4- 6 generous
servings.
