๐ CREAMY RED THAI TOFU CURRY๐
21g protein per serve
This is one of my favourite weeknight meals.
Weโve got golden, cornflour-crisp tofu and a creamy curry base made from red Thai paste, coconut milk and blended silken tofu. Chuck in soft peppers, pak choi and spinach for extra plant points.
Itโs cosy, spicy and nourishing.
Save this for the next time you need an easy midweek meal x
