Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot, add in the tofu and saute for 15 minutes, flipping every few minutes. This is best done in a non-stick skillet. See HERE for a more detailed guide on sautéing tofu.

Meanwhile in a separate large skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil and add in the minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add in the sweet potato and cauliflower and saute for 5 minutes as the veggies begin to soften a bit. Stir in the curry powder and turmeric and cook for an additional minute.

Mix in the coconut milk, broth, almond butter, soy sauce, salt, and pepper and cook for 5 additional minutes as the veggies continue to cook. Stir in the bell pepper and snap peas and cook for 10 additional minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

Serve on its own or over quinoa or basmati rice and enjoy!!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Press Your Tofu Properly 🧊
Press extra firm tofu for at least 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess moisture, allowing it to absorb curry flavors better and achieve a slightly firmer texture when pan-seared.
Bloom Your Spices 🌟
Toast the curry powder and ground turmeric in coconut oil for 1-2 minutes before adding other ingredients to unlock their essential oils and deepen their complex flavors throughout the curry.
Layer Your Vegetables Strategically 🥘
Add firmer vegetables like cauliflower and sweet potato first, then add faster-cooking items like bell pepper and snap peas in the final 5 minutes to ensure each ingredient reaches perfect tenderness simultaneously.
Balance Your Coconut Milk 🥥
Stir lite coconut milk thoroughly before adding and reserve 2-3 tablespoons to swirl in at the end for a luxurious finish that prevents the sauce from becoming too thin during simmering.
Finish with Sesame Oil & Almond Butter 🌰
Whisk almond butter with a bit of warm broth to create a smooth paste, then add it and toasted sesame oil in the final minute to enhance richness without breaking the sauce or overpowering delicate spice notes.
