Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but you'll need to steam or microwave them until tender before adding to the curry to keep the total cooking time under 20 minutes.

Wrap tofu in a clean towel and place a heavy pan on top for 5-10 minutes to remove excess water.

Yellow curry paste is mild, but you can adjust the spice level by using more or less paste or adding chili flakes.

Freezing is not recommended as the texture of tofu and coconut milk sauce can change, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
