1 cup basmati rice

2 10-oz firm silken tofu -- (10 oz box)

2 teaspoons roasted peanut oil

2 large garlic cloves -- minced

1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger

small cubes, about 1/3 inch across.

 

Heat the oil in a wide, nonstick skillet. Add the garlic, ginger and scallions,

and stir-fry for 1 minute.

 

Add the coconut milk and soy sauce, then stir in the curry paste, adding more to

taste if you like it really hot. Add the tofu and simmer until heated through.

 

Spoon over the cooked rice or noodles and garnish with the basil leaves.

NOTES : This couldn't be quicker to assemble, so be sure to have your rice

cooked or your pasta water boiling before you begin.For a completely different

visual effect, cut the tofu into large cubes or triangles instead of into tiny

cubes. Uses either silken tofu in the convenient long-life package or water

packed soft tofu.
