Ingredients
1/4 cup 'lite' coconut milk 1/2 T chopped fresh cilantro1/4 tsp red curry paste, or to taste 1/8 tsp brown sugar1/8 tsp salt, or to taste3-1/2 oz extra-firm tofu, preferably water-packed1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil3 cups baby spinach1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
Directions
To prepare sauce: Whisk coconut milk, cilantro, curry paste, brown sugar and salt in a small bowl.
To prepare tofu: Drain and rinse tofu; pat dry. Slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slabs. Coarsely crumble each slice into smaller, uneven pieces.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add tofu and cook in a single layer, without stirring, until the pieces begin to turn golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Then gently stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until all sides are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes more.
Add spinach, bell pepper and the curry sauce and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are just cooked, 1 to 2 minutes more.

    This was really delicious. I added a lot more curry than what it suggests. My husband is also not a tofu fan, so I made up the sauce and marinated the tofu in it for a few hours. Then cooked it in there. I added the other later as well and served it over pasta. It was delicious! - 3/16/09

    Love the sauce, not a big fan of the tofu. But had to add a bit more flavor to the dish. - 4/17/11

    I really wasn't a big fan of this. While it was easy to prepare, it left something to be desired, in my opinion. - 8/18/09

    This was the first time I've ever cooked tofu - and I'm glad I tried it with this recipe! This was DELICIOUS! I added a little more red curry paste to give it more of a kick! Thank you for a delicious new dish! - 9/28/08
