Ingredients: Serves 4-6.

2 tbsp. oil
2 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. grated ginger
2 tbsp. Aroy-D Panang Curry Paste $2.49 (ranch 99)
2 cans coconut milk (13.5 oz. each) $1.29 each (ranch 99) *Trader Joe’s carries light coconut milk with has 50% less fat than regular coconut milk
1 1/2 tbsp. palm sugar (or brown sugar)
1 tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp. lime juice
1/4 cup roasted and unsalted cashews
1 cup chopped white mushrooms
1 cup chopped white/yellow onion
4 Thai basil leaves
4 oz. cubed extra firm tofu
5 broccoli florets
1 cup red belpepper
10 snap peas

Assembly:

In a seasoned wok, heat oil on medium heat.
Once hot, add ginger and garlic and let cook until light brown.
Stir in curry paste.
Whisk in coconut milk, grated palm sugar, soy sauce, and lime juice and turn heat up to medium-high. *Add the lime juice little by little until it’s just how you like it. I used the entire 1 1/2 tbsp. of lime juice.
Add veggies, tofu, and basil leaves and cook until tofu is cooked completely (you can test this by cutting the tofu in half and trying a bite; if it is not cooked completely, you can taste the rawness).
Top with crushed cashews.
