NUTRITIOUS BASMATI
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. Drain on completion if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
WHILE THE RICE IS BOILING…
Place the cashews in a second pot over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pot on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
THE CURRY IS A GO!
Return the pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion and carrot half-moons for 4-5 minutes until softened, shifting regularly. Add the curry paste to taste and fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the oat milk and gradually whisk in the stock and tapioca flour until incorporated into the liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally.
WHILE THE CURRY IS SIMMERING…
Fry that tofu! Pat the tofu cubes dry with paper towel. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the tofu for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden all over. Remove from the pan on completion.
FINISH THE CURRY
When the curry sauce has reduced, stir through the shredded spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from the heat on completion and stir through three-quarters of the tofu. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice.
BREATHE IN THOSE AROMAS!
Spoon some fragrant Thai red curry over a bed of basmati. Top with the remaining crispy tofu and sprinkle over the sliced chilli to taste. Garnish with the chopped coriander and the chopped, toasted cashews. Well done, Chef!
