Cool-- let us know how it goes!
I think that I'm going to try to use this thread like the OOTD thread, or at least for as long as my motivation lasts
Sweet Potato and Tofu Thai-Inspired Un-Curry
2 Sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 cm dice
1 block extra firm tofu, pressed dry and cut into 2 cm cubes
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, sliced thin
frying oil
tamari
thai chilis
lemon juice
sriracha
1 can coconut milk, full fat
fresh cilantro
1. Heat the oil in a large sautée pan or wok over medium high to high heat. Add the tofu, and brown on all four sides.
2. Add the onion and sweat until translucent. Toss in the sweet potato and garlic, and stir for a couple of minutes, until the sweet potato is starting to get a tiny bit soft, just on the surface.
3. Start with a tbsp of tamari, stir it around and let it reduce until it forms a light glaze on the sweet potato. Add in the chopped thai chili and can of coconut milk.
4. Crank the heat up to high, and boil the everloving shit out of the coconut milk, until it reduces into a thick sauce. Add a bit of lemon juice (start with a tbsp), and adjust the seasoning with more tamari, lemon juice and sriracha if necessary. If the sauce gets too dilute, reduce it a bit longer, otherwise turn the heat off and let it cool until at just above edible temperature.
5. Finish with a handful of roughly chopped cilantro and maybe a tiny squirt of lemon juice.
Ginger would be good in here too, but I didn't have any kicking around. This was inspired by a simple sweet potato thai curry that a good friend made at a kitchen party about a month and a half ago. I was craving it, and had extra sweet potato, but no thai curry paste. So I improvised. Turned out pretty well, although the ginger would really have given it a nice piquant top note.
'Twas served alongside 'failed kale chips' (long story

), over pressure cooker brown rice. Warm, satisfying, and not too bad for you either.
